Have the salesperson confuse your wife with a lot of patter at the meet and greet, and then "accidentally" get her to sit in the minivan parked next to the Sequoia. Maybe she won't notice the bait and switch until after she falls in love with it.

well guys the sienna is out of question - the interior just did not do it for us. We are really down to two choices - MDX vs Odyssey. My question is 1. Given the new MDX 09 - will it be as safe as Odyssey? 2. How will MDX perform in long rides - will it be as comfortable as Odyssey minivan? 3 Most important - will the odyssey peform as good as MDX in the buffalo snow? Thanks guys...

Acura uses more sound insulation, too. Drive it because sound quality is largely subjective. 3. SH-AWD is going to beat FWD easily. Having said that, a good set of snow tires would serve the Ody wel. Best of luck shopping. |

Replying to: jayrider (Nov 22, 2009 6:16 am)  People are paying attention to the new IIHS reports and some people are concerned that the car they intended to buy has fallen off the "top safety pick" list for 2010. 8 SUVs made the list, but no minivans did.
