Next generation US market 2011 Honda Odyssey spied night testing

Very little news here, just the deer-in-the-headlights, nighttime capture of the next-generation, U.S. market Honda Odyssey doing some nocturnal testing somewhere stateside.

One can speculate that the family minivan will be somehow lower, given how it looks in the photo, but that may be very deceiving. For all we know, Honda may be testing its weight capacity and has the vehicle greatly overloaded.

The Odyssey will likely arrive at U.S. Honda dealerships sometime in late 2010 as a 2011 model. It will feature a new V6 petrol engine with improved emissions and economy numbers. Yes, all very vague.

These shots tell us little too, as the Odyssey is so heavily masked in black clothing it looks like a Goth teenager out for a rebellious night on the town.

It is pulling a trailer, though, which means Honda wants to make sure you can take your family camping with this thing once it's for sale. Sounds like fun.
