Not looking good for the Nissan I guess 
I might go drive the Hyundai Entorage for chits and giggles. Since it would be a lease, I am not concerened with the resale value, just how it drives and features. It will be under warranty the entire time I lease it, so just gas and oil for expenses.
A guy at work just bought one similarly equipped as the Oddysey I am looking at. He paid about 5k less

I am sure he could give me a good price, then thing is the Hyundai is simply cheaper than the Honda. We all know why, but if it runs reliably for the time I lease it with the features I want for so much less, it might be the way to go.
Of course, I have not even sat in one yet, so I may do that and decide it is a turd
From the pictures I have seen, it looks similar, and I actually prefer the looks of the instrumentation better than the Honda. I will have to go see I guess.

Good point Steve......Cx7/CX9 are sharp and have grown on me. Nice level of sportiness.
And now that Subie has redone the nose...their tribeca is nice.
GMC Acadia......actually....I really like this.
Are you locked on a 'Van' with sliders? Or will you look at and crossover stuff?

My opinion of Hyundai has changed alot over the last few years. They are a great value play and frankly have a more interesting product set than Toyota. Their powertrains have become very refined.....their new Genesis based coupe is a looker.

NO crossovers. I don't need a van with an identity crisis.
Those CX things are too small for what we need. The power sliders and extra cargo space are the big selling points for us.

I haven't seen or know anything about the Hyundia van...or for that matter any van. Despite the fact that my wife hates them, I'm more of a wagon guy. S4 Avant for me.
After that my opinion is worthless.
The CX-9 has third row....I'd still check it out for giggles.

Cub,
We used to HATE vans too. Give it a couple years and another kid and tell me what you think
