| Honda Odyssey concept The concept is slightly lower and wider than the current Odyssey. It rides on the same wheelbase, although it is slightly longer overall. One intriguing change is the shift away from the strict, flat beltline seen in most minivans. Instead, the Honda concept features a "lightning bolt" cut separating the sheet metal from the window glass. Other styling cues include steeply raked front and rear pillars and a tapered side cabin, as well as a “lowered” appearance resulting from a closer body-to-wheel proportion. Vehicle type: Minivan concept Engine: V-6 with cylinder deactivation Who designed it: Catalin Matei, chief designer, Honda R&D Americas What's cool: More interior space, better fuel economy Will it be built? Yes. This is a lightly disguised production model. Show reaction: Mixed. Polarizing beltline draws inspiration from a lightning bolt, a design that Honda says will distinguish the Odyssey from other minivans. |
