Japan's New Odyssey gets the MUGEN Treatment

So the reveal on the new JDM-only Honda Odyssey happened earlier today, but already those pseudo in-house tuners at Mugen are dropping body kits for a speedier-looking minivan. Available in two flavors, the kits offer revised nose styling, side skirts, rear spoilers, an exhaust kit, new brake pads, apparently new floor mats and snazzier aluminum wheels. We think the US minivan market needs some of this action, don't you? We can just picture the second vannin' craze sweeping grocery store parking lots and day cares across the country.

More Pic's of Japan's 2009 Honda Odyssey, This Time with George Clooney

Here is the original Teaser pic of the JDM 2009 Honda Odyssey.

Well, this beats the teaser pic that Honda has released. This is a gorgeous van, I think it would do very well here in North America, oh, and by the way, it's not this one that is expected to make the jump to North America, it's the Honda Latitude - also a very nice car.

Japans Honda Odyssey Teaser Pic

Here's a 'teaser' pic of the upcoming 2009 JDM Honda Odyssey. Looks a lot like the old 1995-1998 Honda Odyssey that we had here (I still love the 4 door van).

This new Odyssey seems to go for a sleeker, more expressive look than the current edition with the D-panel glass getting some curvature and the fenders getting a bit of flair.

I do not expect this van to make its way here in North America.

Japanese Honda Odyssey Spotted Tested in CA

The above cell phone image of a JDM Honda Odyssey was spotted in Palos Verdes, CA recently. The car was wearing "3421" manufacturer license plates, which apparently Honda uses.
This is a older post from Edmunds.

Well this is a interesting development, I have been under the full impression that it would be the Honda Stream that would make its way to the North American market. Now, that's not to say that Honda is testing this vehicle for this market, they could be doing weather condition tests. Only time will tell.
