that sanitarium is perfect for a zombie movie. when does production start?
The older Odysseys were pretty quick for minivans. I wonder if all that bloat (features) has made it too heavy for that (old) V6?
Ryan- You've got to get the wagon. I've been on the ban the van campaign for 15 years now. My wife and I are facing the same decision as you. She is anti-van as well, but does appreciate the practicality. We're lookin towards getting a Subaru Forester or Legacy outback. I'm leaning towards Forester as a WRX owner. Can you say automatic XTi (when I'm done modding it)... outfitted for the mom on the go? Subaru sooo should have put that into production.
I had heard that as well. The model I was driving most certainly wasn't fast. Looking up their history, the 1998 model weighed 3500 lbs (150hp I4 = 23-lbs/hp), the 2000 model 4300-lbs (210hp V6 = 20-lbs/hp) and the 2010 model 4640-lbs (244hp V6 = 19-lbs/hp). That's a lot of bulking up, though each generation has improved in the pounds hauled per hp. (I know some other minivans had V8s in the 90s, maybe that was the source of the speed rumors?)
Can you say loser cruiser, garbage can on wheels? Wagons Rock!!!!
