#3554 of 3589 Odyssey '07 Power Liftgate by zanmark Jan 17, 2007 (8:03 pm)
I bought a new '07 Ody in November because we are expecting twins in May. I bought the EX-L because I just couldn't see the price premium for the Touring especially being forced into the run-flat tires. My question is if i can get the power liftgate installed in the EX-L or is it built in at the factory. I REALLY want this and almost bought the Toyota but their pricing is whacked! Anyone know if I can get this? Replies to this message: jchan2 (Jan 20, 2007 8:55 pm)
#3555 of 3589 nope by stickguy Jan 18, 2007 (8:23 pm)
not practical, although theoretically you probably could get the liftgate added.   IMO, the cheapest way to get the power gate now is to trade in the EX-L!
#3556 of 3589 EX vs Touring by georgey Jan 19, 2007 (5:12 pm)
Does anyone know if the Touring Edition is a better Drive than the EX model? I've heard there a difference... Please fill me in... Replies to this message: blackexv6 (Jan 20, 2007 2:48 am) panmax (Jan 20, 2007 5:43 pm)

Replying to: georgey (Jan 19, 2007 5:12 pm) Depends on what you mean by drive better? DO you mean handling or ability to take road shock?   I drove both the models & found the Touring to be much stiffer on road imperfections. The PAX tires are the main difference - The EX has taller sidewalls which soak up bounces better than the lower profile PAX tires. I've found this same situation with the Honda Accord LX & EX (LX had taller profile tires & rode much better).   I've heard the Touring also has a different front sway bar for handling.   If you are looking for a great "handling" van either one is a good choice - just depends if you want to spend the extra couple thousand for the Touring. If you want a smooth, quiet highway ride with little road shock - look at the Toyota Sienna or another manufacturer.

Replying to: georgey (Jan 19, 2007 5:12 pm) If you are seriously considering Touring, be sure you can stand or can afford $1200 for a set of 4 replacement tires and $1600 for a set of 4 snow tires if you need them. Yes, that is really the price. Prices are high, availability and choice low. Only Michelin makes Pax. Only Pax tires fit on Pax rims. Also, very few tire stores service, repair or replace Pax. Few have the attachment to align a Pax car. Dealers are hit and miss. Some cannot repair or replace Pax. And on a weekend, Pax tire service may be unavailable. Michelin and Honda may promise everything but something this new has gaps in real world application and service. There are Pax posts here and elsewhere. Be sure you want all the good and bad features of Pax.

Replying to: zanmark (Jan 17, 2007 8:03 pm) The only way for you to get the Power Liftgate without incurring a major expense is to trade it in for an 07 Touring.   And I doubt Honda will ever offer an AWD minivan- they'll just leave that small niche market to Toyota and build models for, perhaps, 90% of minivan buyers.

Replying to: georgey (Jan 07, 2007 5:46 pm) In Japan the Odyssey and other Honda Minivans already have AWD as an option! You will definitely see that as a option here in the States sometime soon.   Also for those looking for what the next Odyssey may look like check out Honda's Website in Japan. You will see features from this vehicle called the Honda ELYSION morph over to the next Generation Odyssey.   Honda Elysion

that right before the 2005 Odyssey redesign, everybody thought that it would look a lot like the Elysion, yet the Odyssey turned out to be a completely different automobile.
