The Honda Odyssey has always been a very good family vehicle, capable of packing in the parents, four kids and enough luggage for a week away. The new ad campaign by RPA focuses on branching out the auto's appeal, marketing it towards romance-starved couples, people who like loud music, and ironically, people who like tranquility.
The new Honda Odyssey can apparently be anything you want it to be. That's the beauty of a vehicle with breathing room. Unfortunately if you like drag racing, the Honda Odyssey might not be suited for you.
