I placed my deposit and was told to expect a $500-$800 increase over the same platform on the 04 pricing. They guarentee sales at MSRP.

Canadian pricing... by weaselinsuit

Haven't seen anything anywhere and Honda Canada was no help. I don't get it, surely the pricing must be set by now, what possible advantage is there to holding it close to their vests? Yeeesh.

Thanks '65. I always wondered how that worked.

$500 increase fro an EX_l would be great, considering the new features (the moonroof alone will account for that difference). That puts it around 29.5K, so even at MSRP it will be very competitive with the SIenna, which runs up around around 33K I believe for an XLE with leather and a roof.

Actually, the closest model Sienna to the Ody EX-L I've been able to figure is an XLE with pkg#14. This gives you the leather, moonroof, CD changer, and all the safety goodies. MSRP on this puppy ('04 prices) is nearly $34k. From what I understand, there is a price hike on the '05 Siennas (???). So figure the equivalent '05 Sienna XLE would run closer to $34.5k MSRP.
 
That's a $5k delta in the MSRP between the Ody EX-L and the comparable Sienna XLE (assuming the EX-L is indeed at $29.5k). Ouch.
 
The only thing I can't figure is, if the Ody will enjoy such a price advantage, why in the heck are they being so closed mouthed about prices? If my bread-n-butter trim level, which is expected to account for close to 50% of my van sales, had a $5k price advantage over it's main competition, I would be shouting the prices from the rooftops.

8-way power seat for driver w/lumbar support as well as Power Sliding door are standard in EX, EX-L and Touring.

Um....is that "door" singular, or "doorS" plural?
 
markhoot - I'm about 99.5% sure the EX has 2 power doors. It does not have a power passenger seat. I think(?) the Sienna XLE has added power passenger seat for '05 (hence, the price increase), but I'm not sure of this.

I think they are biased in terms of liking "performance" vehicles over quiet and cushy vehicles, but not when it comes to decibel readings.
For example, in their June 2004 issue, C&D gave the Sienna something like a 68dBA, T&C 69dBA, and Ody 70dBA 70mph, but they still ranked the Ody #1 over the Sienna because the Ody "performed" better in their opinion.
