In Sunday’s Automobiles section, Cheryl Jensen reviews the updated Honda Odyssey, the best-selling minivan in the United States for the last two years. As Ms. Jensen notes, several automakers have cut minivans out of their lineups — partly, one suspects, because consumers have begun buying more crossover vehicles. Of the Odyssey, she writes:
While the van shows improvements in features, room and fuel economy, its driving dynamics, which had previously made it the sportiest-feeling minivan, seem to have suffered.
This fourth-generation Odyssey, which went on sale Sept. 30, replaces a version that made its debut as a 2005 model. The new van is the first one developed by a team of Honda engineers in the United States — based in Ohio — and is built at the same Alabama plant where the previous model was made.
The new model is slightly longer, lower and wider. It not only looks more jaunty, with a body-side character line extending forward from the boldly shaped rear side window, its slicker aerodynamics aid fuel economy.
