2018 Honda Odyssey Teased Before January Debut
Honda is teasing its all-new 2018 Odyssey minivan before it debuts at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show in January.
This is the fifth generation of the minivan and Honda says it will feature a new powertrain, new innovating features and sophisticated styling. The proper teaser shows what looks like a slightly lower, sleeker looking Odyssey compared to today’s model while Honda also released teaser “scribbles” from the children (seen below) who were involved in Odyssey development.

“We wanted to have a bit of fun by sharing some of the drawings from children of the Odyssey team members, since they were inspirational in shaping the family-friendly direction of the all-new Odyssey,” said Chad Harrison, chief engineer at Honda R&D America and the development leader of the new Odyssey.
Some of the rumored additions to the Odyssey lineup include a plug-in hybrid model to battle the Chrysler Pacifica plug-in along with the adoption of a nine-speed automatic transmission.

That child design team is on to something, but isn't child labor against the law? All minivans should look like mini busses, and they should all have AWD imo.
I wonder if "all new" is actually all new. With Honda and especially Toyota that's usually not the case...
