The center tray on the Odyssey is barely "better than nothing". Give me the versitality of a well designed center console any day. But Honda will work this tray till the cows come home, trying to shove the concept up where the sun don't shine. I have noticed that they won't change until the last resort on stuff like that. PLUS, they know better than us. Just ask them why we couldn't get daytime running lights or heated mirrors on a US Odyssey if we were willing to pay for them.
