Replying to: koobiidoobii (Sep 14, 2004 4:17 pm) Keep in mind that the Sienna Xle Limited has sunroof, smart cruise control and HID headlite standard that are not available on the Honda.   Not true. The EX-L and Touring have sunroof from what I've read. True about the laser cruise and HID. But Honda did say the light in the Ody is a new type of light. We shall see. So that's a wash.

Replying to: koobiidoobii (Sep 14, 2004 4:17 pm) One of my employees has an AWD Sienna XLE Limited. Loves it..But doesn't like the laser cruise control. He turned it off. Didn't like the reaction when somebody moves in front of him a bit close...Also didn't like it detecting the semi in the next lane when they were on a curve. Both situations causes the Sienna to brake to slow down. The incident with the semi occurred when he was attempting to pass...not the time that you want the car to brake unexpectedly.

Replying to: rorr (Sep 14, 2004 1:44 pm) Okay, that's great, but I don't understand Japanese. Which valves are shut down during VCM operation and how does Honda eliminate pumping losses?   Here what Honda announced... The Odyssey's i-VTEC V-6 engine (available on EX with Leather and Touring models) features a Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) system that improves fuel economy by idling three of the Odyssey's six cylinders during cruising and deceleration. VCM deactivates the rear bank of cylinders by using the VTEC (Variable Valve-Timing and Lift Electronic Control) system to close the intake and exhaust valves while cutting fuel at the same time.

Thanks.   Any idea about what sort of noise might be perceived by bystanders from the VCM when the van is idleing?

Replying to: hondasales76 (Sep 14, 2004 8:06 am) That's great news. I am glad the Ody is finally quieter than the Sienna. Now we need C&D as an unbiased 3rd party to confirm those results. But thanks for posting the decibel readings.

Replying to: andrewtran71 (Sep 15, 2004 4:42 am) I thought C&D is BIASED to Honda and BMW. Replies to this message: andrewtran71 (Sep 15, 2004 10:49 am) eman (Dec 05, 2004 6:45 am) hansienna (Dec 05, 2004 7:48 pm) eman (Dec 05, 2004 6:43 am)
#48 of 5148 MSRP SET yesterday? by scienceman Sep 15, 2004 (5:00 am)
Anybody know where to find the MSRPs that the host mentioned last evening?
#49 of 5148 by stickguy Sep 15, 2004 (5:04 am)
there has been a lot of estimates, but I don't believe actual numbers have been published, unless they are hot off the press.
#50 of 5148 '05 Honda Cars & Trucks by gjay1170 Sep 15, 2004 (5:37 am)
Did anybody here get a small brochure for the '05 Honda cars and trucks? My dealer sent it to me last week. The '05 Ody was the first vehicle shown inside. Well, at least it's a tangible brochure, and not the internet. Next week, I'm hoping to get the full Ody brochure in the front seat of my EX-L nav/res. By the way, the picture is the touring with grey leather, and a LX beige. The other honda cars and trucks for '05 are nice too, including the hybrids, and the new Honda SUT concept (if you like pickups that seat 5).
