PhilZJ, you were correct. The EX-L only comes in Taffeta white. I went and drove the new Odyssey and was disappointed that the dealership had listed them incorrectly in their computer inventory list. Oh well... The only colors they have available with Nav are Taffeta, Smoky Topaz and the light blue. (Love the light blue, but it's identical to my old Odyssey...) Decisions, decisions... I really like the look of Polished Metal online, but the dealership said they would have to special order it... I'm not good at being patient! :rollingeyes:
How did you like the EX-L?
We were very patient with our van, we plan on keeping it for many years, so I wanted to be exactly what we wanted. We put a deposit down on ours Oct 1st 2010, and took delivery Dec 3rd. So a pretty long wait. The only reason why it was inconvenient for us, was because we were trading my wife's Accord Coupe for it, so having the van sooner would have been nice. Though, looking back on it, I'm glad we didn't compromise on color / package. (we wanted the beige interior and a light exterior). They had a beige / beige TE on the lot, they kept asking us to buy that, but beige exterior :noo:
They also said they could bring in a Black exterior from another dealer, but I had a black Jeep a few years back, and it was brutal in the heat.
Anyways, for what it's worth I like the smokey topaz color, but it's darker than I would have wanted.
