You are in the Honda Odyssey Forum. Your Host is Karens
| Any word on when Honda will release official pricing on all trim levels of the new Ody? Cars are sheduled to hit the lots middle of next week; official pricing ought to be out any day now. | |
| knowing Honda, you might not see the pricing until the 22nd when the cars show up. I believe that's what happened with the TSX. There were rumors, but even dealers didn't know for sure until the first one rolled off the truck and they way the window sticker. | |

The 05 Ody is so good that: Members of the press have named the 2005 Honda Odyssey as a semi-finalist for "Car of the Year" to be named at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

Replying to: ctsang (Sep 15, 2004 8:54 am) Car of the year doesn't mean better than Bmmer, Lexus, Merc. Car of the year can be a Civic, a Focus, can be a Kia...As long as it's creative enough for that model year. |

Replying to: ctsang (Sep 15, 2004 8:54 am) While I don't know how the auto show classifies a truck from a car, it is more likely that the Odyssey is a candidate for 'Truck of the Year'. Past winners of "Car of the Year" 2004, Toyota Prius 2003, BMW Mini Cooper 2002, Nissan Altima 2001, Chrysler PT Cruiser 2000, Ford Focus 1999, Chevy Corvette |

"Car of the year doesn't mean better than Bmmer, Lexus, Merc." Looks like you don't know the criteria or meaning to be car/truck of the year. Find out before you make yourself a fool here among those who know.

NAME - The awards are the "North American Car of the Year" and "North American Truck of the Year," not "Car of the Year." WHO GIVES THE AWARDS? - This year the awards were given by a group of 49 full-time automotive journalists from Canada and the United States. While the awards are announced at the North American International Auto Show, the show does not give the awards. HOW ARE THE AWARDS CHOSEN? - The awards are designed to recognize the most outstanding vehicles of the year based on factors including innovation, design, safety, handling, driver satisfaction and value for the dollar. ELIGIBILITY - Vehicles must be new "substantially changed" from the previous model. HOW DO THE JURORS VOTE? - Jurors are given 25 points to divide among cars and trucks. However, no more than 10 points may be given to a single vehicle. The ballots are counted by Deloitte. The three finalists in each category are released in mid-December but until the news conference in January only Richard Gabrys, the vice chairman of Deloitte, knows the winners. HISTORY - The awards were started in 1993, were first given in January 1994, and were modeled after the Car of the Year in Europe. They are administered by a seven-person organizing committee and funded by dues paid by the jurors. As the Sienna was a 2004 canidate, I would imagine the Ody would fall to the car category. |

Looks like pricing is similar to Sienna. Touring Base MSRP is around $35K which is basically the same as XLE Limited Base which is also around that $35K. But XLE LTD Base sports a power passenger seat, Laser Cruise Control, & HID Lights. But Odyssey Base has memory seats, pedals, and is that it?
