The Honda Odyssey is a minivan / large MPV produced by the Japanese automaker Honda since 1995.
The Odyssey was introduced in 1995 as a compact minivan with four swing-open doors as on most sedans rather than the
conventional sliding door design.
The basic vehicle was shared between the Japanese and North American markets.
The Odyssey was also the first minivan to have a flat-folding third row seat. Built on the Accord platform and using a 4-cylinder engine like the Accord's, many critics thought the interior was too small for a minivan, and the engine underpowered despite an engine size
increase in 1998.
Consumers agreed and the first generation Odyssey was not a sales success.
The Odyssey was rebadged as the Isuzu Oasis, which is now discontinued.
This unusual sharing of vehicles resulted from a lack of SUVs in Honda's lineup.
Isuzu got from Honda the Odyssey and renamed it the Oasis.
Honda got from Isuzu the Rodeo and
renamed it the Passport.
Acura got the Trooper and renamed it the SLX.
The Odyssey and Oasis were used in New York City as taxi cabs.
