TORRANCE, California — The redesigned 2011 Honda Odyssey minivan starts at $28,580, including a $780 destination charge, making it $2,070 more expensive than a comparable 2011 Toyota Sienna.
The 2011 Odyssey tops out at $44,030, including shipping, for the new Touring Elite model, which bundles a long list of features including a premium audio system with 12 speakers, a navigation system, a rear entertainment system, a new cool box in the lower center stack, HID headlights, 18-inch alloy wheels and a power tailgate.
The 2010 Honda Odyssey ranged in price from $27,585 for the base LX model to $41,535 for the Odyssey Touring model.
Consumers will have to carefully comparison shop the 2011 Odyssey versus the 2011 Sienna. Honda does not offer a base four-cylinder model on the redesigned Odyssey; the base 2011 Sienna with a 187-horsepower 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine starts at $25,270, including an $810 shipping charge.
The base 2011 Toyota Sienna with a 3.5-liter V6 starts at $26,510, including shipping. It competes with the base 2011 Honda Odyssey LX with a 3.5-liter V6 that starts at $28,580.
The 2011 Honda Odyssey goes on sale in the fall.

hondalvr4life? If Honda doesnt have any transmission problems then why has mine been rebuilt twice? Why, when I sit in that purgatory Honda waiting room, have I met several others that have had the same problem with 2007-09 model year Odyssey's TRANSMISSIONS FAILING?
The only line at the Honda dealership, is the one forming every morning at the Honda dealers service write up desk.
Like I said before:
I'LL PASS ON ANY HONDA DO TO PREVIOUS HONDA OWNERSHIP PROBLEMS

Until Toyota and Honda off stow-n-go seating for the second row, neither of these will earn my business. You just don't realize how much easier it is unless you have a Dodge/Chrysler minivan with the stow-n-go seats. Don't have to worry about leaving the seats behind because you need that extra storage for long road trips with a 12yr old, 3yr old, and 2yr old.

Honda hasn't had transmission problems since 2004... they fixed that issue when the second generation Oddyssey was phased out for the third generation. People will be lining up at the Honda dealers for this one as they always had... the Oddyssey was always in high demand and because the new sienna has an interior that is just as cheap as those lousy caravan's and town & countries... The honda will be the sales leader once again and the benchmark.

Honda is doing what all manufacturers do, jack up the price, gouge the first group of people who have to be the first on the block to have it, then later will offer rebates when sales slow. Since, the Honda is so much more expensive than the other vans out there, it will not be long before you see rebates. I own a 2008 Honda EX-L van, and I can tell you I would not pay 28K plus for the base. I would look at Toyota or Dodge.

(davedutton12 says) I'll pass on Honda due to transmission failures.
Huh! They haven't had transmission issues since the '04 models. The 02-04 models were covered by a 100K warranty and replaced for free for most owners when they failed. Have several friends which had 5xK, 6xK, or 7xK tranny failures that were covered at no charge.
Also, Honda has some of the best goodwill repair coverage of any maker. They really stand behind their product. Have you ever owned a VW/Audi or any domestic. Besides more frequent mundane things needing replaced out of your own pocket, there's generally little chance for a goodwill repair of something substantial (that isn't NTHSA required).

For the base price of the Odyssey, some one can easily cross shop with the new GM Crossovers or better yet for the top of the line Odyssey, get a Hybrid Highlander if space is not a constraint.
I just hope the Base Odyssey also offers Alloys just like Sienna. The base Sienna or LE model will outsell Odyssey just on price because Toyota is known to give more incentives than Honda.
The other thing I still do not understand is that even on the top of the line model, why do they have black mirrors? I just hope they look better in person. Remember that Sienna offers power third row stow feature and push button start, a big help when you have hands full with groceries and holding children, let alone room to hold bunch of keys!

Neither the Sienna nor this Honda abortion will get my money. I'll pass on Honda due to transmission failures. I'll pass on anything Toyota for every other reason (plus I'm not done living). Town and Country for me after my lousy Honda Odyssey lease is up
