The Honda Motor Company was formed in Japan in 1948 by Soichiro Honda. In its early years, Honda was noted for its racing motorcycles and it built the Honda S500 sportscar
in 1963. With it many types of motorized vehicles, Honda is the largest engine-maker in the world and has established a reputation for good quality.
"The all-new-for-2005 Honda Odyssey isn't going to shake any sportscars off their perches, but for comfort, build quality, convenience and performance, it's a very serious contender for top-of-the-list among minivans.
All models come with a 3.5-litre V6 that makes 255 hp and 250 ft-lb of torque and features a drive-by-wire throttle system."
Honda’s extremely high safety standards reflect a total commitment to continuously improving the safety of drivers, passengers and pedestrians. Honda strives to create greater harmony between people and vehicles to establish a safer and more comfortable mobility society.
