#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.
#3563 of 3589 Any mid-year refreshening or news on 2008? by ultfamcar May 03, 2007 (9:24 am)
New to this forum and considering an Odyssey EX-L or Touring. Any news or updates on mid-year refreshening or news on 2008?   Thanks! Charles Replies to this message: jchan2 (May 05, 2007 3:06 pm)

Replying to: ultfamcar (May 03, 2007 9:24 am) Vtec.net is pretty confident that PAX will become optional on Touring models, although that strikes some people as a decision that doesn't make sense, as Honda dealers with the PAX equipment are growing daily.
#3565 of 3589 2008... Odyssey by sahildesai Jun 10, 2007 (4:40 pm)
Does anyone think Honda will make 8 seats as an option for 2008 rather than having the "link" plus 1 that it has today? We are expecting our third child in Aug, and currently drive a 2003 Odyssey LX. Would like to get a three seater second row... would be most happy with a split 60/40 second row instead of three different chairs.. I guess most of the Honda designers are not family men/women with three children..Might have to look at the 8 seater Sienna. I absolutly do not like the looks of the Sienna....
