2010 Honda Odyssey Gallery

The Honda Odyssey is a minivan manufactured by Japanese automaker Honda since 1994, marketed worldwide, and now in its third (North America) and fourth generations (Japan). The Odyssey had originally been conceived and engineered in Japan, in the wake of country's economic crisis of the 1990s – which in turn imposed severe constraints on the vehicle's size and overall concept, dictating the minivan's manufacture in an existing facility with minimal modification.[1] The result was a smaller minivan, in the Compact MPV class, that was well received in the Japanese domestic marketand less well received in North America.

Subsequent generations diverged to reflect market variations, and Honda built a plant in Alliston, Ontario, incorporating the ability to manufacture larger models.

Since model year 1999, Honda has marketed a larger (large MPV-class) Odyssey in North America and a smaller Odyssey in Japan and other markets. The first generation Odyssey was marketed in Europe as the Shuttle.

Honda also offered the larger North American Odyssey in Japan as Honda LaGreat between 1999 and 2004.

The fourth generation Odyssey will take on a much more sleek and modern appearance compared to previous generation models, as well as other minivans, SUVs and concept cars. It was officially unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show on June 17, 2010 and is due out in North America on September 30, 2010 for the 2011 model year.
