The looks aren't bad but two issues:
1) How much is this thing gunna weigh... a naturally aspirated 1.8 liter? Cmon mang. The Odyssey is cool because it has good power and good fuel economy despite its size.
2) The Japanese should really let their NA branch handle the names for over here. Honda Stream? Cmon... a bit too R-Kelley, dontcha think?

Good possibility that if we get it it'll have a different engine lineup...

 

I have seen this for the past few years here in europe. It is way better looking that the Odysey.

 

Damn!

That looks pretty awesome!

 

it looks like a more slopeing mazda6

 

I like that.:thumbup:
Although it seems it would kind of crowd the Honda SUV lineup since there is the new Fit, CR-V,Element and Pilot.:dunno:

 

Looks just like a minivan to me.

 

you know, that's a good looking van

 

I'm seriously not feeling it at all.

 

Looks to be a Mazda 5 competitor

 

Pacifica?

exactly.. Civic engine, Civic Platform.. 3 rows and tal lroofline.. in the US it's Mazda5.. but in europe you also have Corolla Verso as a competition in this..

I have to agree though... looks hot ..

not bad.

 

I have driven the Mazda5 and loved the size/packaging. I have been very tempted to buy one, but haven't b/c I won't buy a vehicle that gets less than 30mpg hwy and /or has poor resale value (don't ask how I bought a Focus). Recently, I've been eyeing up Accords, but would jump all over this model if we're lucky enough to get it. These "space vans" are way cool for small families, and with their ability to haul big stuff, they are a huge improvement over a sedan. Now I better not show my wife this one..

 

I'd be all over that if they bring it here.

I'd expect the Accord 4cyl.

I won't care what they call it. Just bring it over!

Thanks for posting this up:thumbup:

 

Definitely a Honda competitor for the Mazda5, I like it :thumbup:

how low is that thing?

 

Pic 5 is from the Ring lol

 

Pacifica?

I was thinking something like the Mercedes 350R-ish looking. We will see what happens.

Anyways good luck

Very nice. :thumbup:

 

Butt ugly. Looks like a cross between the new civic and a freakin matrix.

 

How well is the Mazda 5 selling so far in the States? I know locally I am seeing quite a few of them, and the only one that the local Mazda dealer currently has in stock was last year’s demonstration model (which was FULLY LOADED). If the sales are VERY good for Mazda so far on the 5 I would see Honda bringing this over. If they do this may be the new taxi of choice! The old 4 door odyssey was getting very popular as a taxi vehicle (Honda reliability) and good space but not too huge a size. If it comes over here with a 2.0 motor with good gas mileage and decent pick up people it might be bought up again for that.

Mazda might not be the best indication. Honda is a bit of an oddity kinda like the MINI. Some people will buy anything Honda makes. Look at the Ridgeline, i don't have the numbers but i see them EVERYWHERE..

 

yeh it does look like a Civic Si and a Mazda 5 had too much to drink, went home together, and BAM

love child of the sexy proportions. I like it, tho it needs to be boosted definitely or it will ruin all my love for it. Without power, that thing sucks. (just like the Mazda5's downfall)
