GOING ON AN ODYSSEY

Have you guys enjoyed haulers and sedans month? I for one sure have, and as we wrap it up I wanted to do a quick post celebrating one of my favorite people haulers of all time - the third and fourth gen JDM-spec Honda Odyssey. Even in stock form, the sleek, low slung lines of these vans give them lots of character. With a little (or a lot) of customization and they look even better.

sleek looking Odyssey to the United States

It's sad to think that the JDM Odyssey went in this direction while the USDM version went in the huge and tall direction.

So Honda, if you ever decide to import the cool, sleek looking Odyssey to the United States, you'll have at least one buyer waiting.

If was fortunate enough to own one of these, it'd be hard to figure out which way to go with it.

Red Odyssey section of Minkara

I spent some time hunting around the Odyssey section of Minkara and put together a random selection of "hooked up" Odysseys from Japan. Since the Odyssey is one of, if not the the most popular vans for customization in Japan there's a huge variety of them out there.
