Hence my contention that what we have now is not much different in concept to a Falcon or Commodore stationwagon with the extra row of seats that you could also get with the mundane Aussie product. The current Odyssey also nolonger gets the V6 that the old model had at its top level.

Don't get me wrong, I like the design of the current Odyssey. I just wish they'd stop advertising it as a people mover and called it a stationwagon instead.
i see your point, BUT it is a people mover as its designed to carry 7 people comfortoably (im a big guy and i find 3rd row seat somfy and roomy)
If it was advertised as a stationwagon, people would perceive it as small and uncomfortable, even though its not.

I find the power in the current Odyssey to be enough. its fairly torquey and does People moving very well. but its no sports car.

Also technically even a 7 seat commo or falcon is still classed as a people mover.
