Another Acura traded in. . .

But this time the CL survives this round of cuts. Traded our 2003 MDX for a 2008 Odyssey Touring tonight. We needed more space and got a great deal on it. In case you're interested 2008 Tourings (non Pax) added Bluetooth, AUX in for MP3 players, new 17" rims, Plus One seat in the middle row for a 8th passenger and a redesigned front and back.

The Oddy is sweet, though I've heard complaints about gas mileage, not sure if they are true, I don't own one

Thanks. I think it looks small because of the lens I used. It only looks clean because you see 1/2 of the garage. It's a 4 car tandem. Here's an old pic before it got really messy.

perfect setup with the tandem. Place for a fun car and work area and you still have your normal parking spots

+1 on having a really clean garage!!I might be wrong, but from the pictures it looks like they changed the front bumper and redesigned or touched the headlights.The Odyssey is THE minivan to have.

No one in this thread said it was rice.

The only knock against it, IMO, is the fact that its a minivan.

I was just as skeptical before I bought mine. The ride of the Ody is what impresses me the most. It drives great.
