Hondas 2011 Odyssey Concept Aims at the Hesitators

[SGT_OKINAWA]

Mazda and Honda = expensive to own and maintain IMO so the point is mute.

Now said that, at least it DOES NOT HAVE *cough* gway *cough* wavey lines on the side of it... (confused)

Premacy / 5 = (toilet) to me, but MY 06 Premacy:

is a one time in my life own type 'sport wagon', just counting the days till the youngest kid is done with California Institute of Technology (CIT) and then it's go time baby!

$92,000 dollars and you could have one too... !

LINK TO フェラーリ　360 !! Yeah Baby !

Peace!(rei)

Problem isn't that sliding doors belong to women - I have heard many a man voice opinion on the awesomeness of owning a minivan, but its that these men (and women) are decidedly part of a sea of dreariness and stability. Minivans are what you get when you have finally given up your sense of adventure and settled in with your 2.5 kids in a 3.5 bathroom house in a cul-de-sac far far away from trendy restaurants. If minivans were used to haul surfboards instead of cinder blocks, then maybe those who eschew their fondness of the vehicle would get some cred, but even Toyota's marketers are slamming the market segment by spoofing the 30-something family with "balding-unshaven man" and his "swagger-wagon."

The Mazda5 has a chance to turn that on its head - Mazda just needs to get out and interview owners & put out a commercial showcasing its demographic. Decidedly NOT your average hopeless minivan buyer!

Beautiful bit of writing, Thaxman. Thanks for making my day!(attention)

Any guy posting in this particular forum is probably way beyond any stigma of minivans. LOL

That would be true....IF the Mazda5 were a stuffy gas-sucking minivan! I still look at real minivans and cringe. All I see is a bloated land yacht with French fries stuck in various crevices and soda-pop-sticky armrests, not a nimble little vehicle that can do donuts mid-block on a residential street.

The "real minivan" ... I'd say is the Mazda5. It is a real minivan alot more so than the other so-called minivans. There is nothing "mini" about them. They have grown almost 30 inches in length over the years.

Looking at the sticky that includes "what would you change?" many new 5 owners want an extra 3 (6, 9, 12...) inches behind the third row. Hope Mazda does not listen.

As I own even cars I hate for at least 1/2 a decade, I will see many product cycles for the 5 before mine wears out it's welcome.

Man that roller coaster at Buffalo Bill's is awesome. My buddy opened for Brooks and Dunn there about 7-8 years ago and we got passes to ride the rides all we wanted. I wore it out. Then I sat backstage through a really, REALLY boring country music concert.
