While "all-new" and sporting a somewhat unconventional design, there's a lot about the 2011 Odyssey that's familiar. Most importantly, the engine and chassis are carryovers, hinting that while Honda is optimistic about growth in the minivan segment, they aren't betting on it.
Instead, Honda decided to focus much of its engineering talent on improving and perfecting the functionality of the Odyssey rather than reengineer it; and that's smart thinking as there's no reason to knock either the chassis or the engine. Quite the contrary.
