Anyone know when Honda might leak info on 2010 Odessey redesign? Drive a lot in mountains and need AWD. Would buy Sienna now but am waiting on hope Odessey becomes available with AWD.

The Odyssey isn't scheduled for a major redesign until model year 2011 (which would debut in Fall of 2010). Even then, I'm not sure that the demand for AWD vans is strong enough for Honda to offer it as an option.
I'd get the Sienna if you need it anytime soon, since you are over 2 years away from the next Odyssey.

Thanks! That is very helpful as two years is too long for us to wait. I have heard from the dealer that Honda has no intentions on offering it in AWD form.

With the 8-passenger AWD Pilot, I just don't see much need for an AWD minivan as well. I'd suspect Toyota will stop making the AWD Sienna after this generation; the Highlander is a large AWD-Available vehicle and will likely become the AWD vehicle of choice in Toyota's lineup.
It's hard to beat a minivan's space efficiency, isn't it?

You got it. I also have an MDX which has been great but our Honda van is still a better family vehicle (dare I say more fun to drive, more comfortable, better space, etc.) The MDX is leased and I plan to replace it with an AWD sedan such as the new RL or Infinity M35, hence the hope for an AWD van.
Thanks again for your help!

You're quite welcome. I encourage you to take a look and maybe make a post at the Sienna vs. Odyssey thread, should you have any further questions. More people will likely see your posts there than in this small thread.
Let us know how your search for the best vehicle goes.

Honda Odyssey - redesign for 2010 or 2011?

We are about to purchase a 2009 Honda Odyssey but are concerned that the redesign may happen with the 2010 models and are wondering if we should wait a few months? Does anyone have any real information on whether the redesign is for 2010 or 2011 (if its 2011 we will just go ahead and buy the 2009, we can't wait a year) I see lots of different thoughts on this online, wondering if anyone really knows...

The only changes from what I have read is the "buck tooth" front Honda corporate grill. You will have to wait until the Fall to find out what else. If you get it now, you will probably get better pricing. Honda has already stopped making 2009 Odysseys, so color selection is going to be harder. 2010 Ody will sell at stick initially...

The new Odyssey is not due for 2010. They have been on a six year schedule since the '99 model debuted (and was around until 2004). Based on that, at the EARLIEST we'll see a new 2011 Odyssey, but not 2010, which would only be 5 years.
