Looks great. I think Honda is doing very well with the Odyssey and think they've done extremely well with the new Ridgeline. Only sad that your new Odyssey looks 10X better than the new Accord.

thx! The accord does look awful. Good news is it means Honda can style a car and it's hard to make a van look nice. The Pacifica and the odyssey both look really nice and not just for vans. I would say most sedans are pretty ugly right now. I'm not impressed with most of them. Walking around Santa Monica I see about every kind of car, the new odyssey has nothing to be ashamed of, in the looks category.

Use to have an Odyssey... Moved over to a Sienna SE and haven't looked back.
Congrats on the new Odyssey! Im looking forward to seeing the new generation Sienna also.

I drove it a bunch today. It's a nice place to be. It's extremely quiet, drives wonderfully, good steering, good brakes (for a vehicle of it's advanced size! 
), seat ventilation and heat work better than my M5, the touch screen works great, the interior camera is really cool, overall best family hauler I've ever driven. The 10 speed is seamless. It just shifts constantly..i guess, but you hardly notice it. When you need power it's quick to give it. The van scoots too.

What does something like this go for all loaded up? Can you pull out all of the rear seats and strap down a sportbike or two?

No way, would not fit. Best deal going for that is your Merc dealer. Metris Cargo Van. Merc will deal hard on them too. It's 208/258 (crank) and quite peppy.

Sportbike might fit but tie-downs are not really built in for that kind of thing. You don't want a bike bouncing around inside your van, that's for sure.

Decades ago I had a Ford Aerostar and it worked great for hauling a bike. I strapped the bike down to the seat locations. It was a horrible POS to drive, but fairly reliable.
