	Feature Article - The New Honda Odyssey: Beyond The Mom-Mobile? - 10/04
		Though still recognizably a Honda, the new Odyssey, which replaces the model introduced in 1998, has been given a more pronounced grille and projector beam-style halogen headlamps whose lenses bulge out from the slope of the hood to break up the one-box flow that is an all too recognizable trait of minivans.

		In the third-generation Odyssey, Honda traded its column shifter for one mounted in the dash and moved the instrument panel controls closer to the driver.
