Quick follow-up: I just got my new Honda Odyssey from iLease last night. He was the cheapest of all of the heimishe places, and worked to get me the exact color and specs that I was looking for.

Anyone know if you can install the Honda Vac (or any other portable vacuum) into the EXL?
If you don't care why would you comment?

Why do I feel that the hemishe dealers (Brooklyn-Lakewood) are pushing the Toyota Sienna over Honda Odyssey for buying?

Overall it looks like the Honda Odyssey has better reviews.

Much easier bank to deal with.

Why would a car dealer push the one with better reviews over whichever one provides a bigger profit margin?

I've test-driven both the Odyssey and the Sienna and I find that the acceleration, braking, and sporty performance is better in the Odyssey.

The Sienna is good for someone who may want a plusher ride, however the brake's response and overall response/performance seemed slower to me when I tested both models. We've hade 3 odysseay leases back-to-back so far. Very pleased.

The newest Odyssey has a sharper turning circle than previous models. Even tighter "U-Turn" than the Honda Accord sedan!

I personally prefer Toyota over Honda. We have an odyssey and I hate it, thank the Lord I don't drive it on a daily basis.

1) MWAHAHAHA!!!
2) No one is gonna blame their dealer if the car is a bad drive or such. They'll hate the car company instead.
I'm not who you think I am.

I don't pretend to know how leasing works, but in general when many people are recommending something that doesn't conform with how the product is rated you should follow the money.

Honda easier. (Nothing to do with which model.) So why are they pushing sienna? Dunno. I just know that the Honda bank is easier.

According to dealer that I spoke to,

Excluding this month the Sienna has been consistently cheaper the the Odyssey.

The Honda leasing program has become less attractive. ( There are cheaper companies FE: Kia etc but they don't result in cheaper leases ) the abuse of the heimishe crowd had a lot to do with it.

As a btw he claimed that the Sienna keeps its values better citing multiple used minivans as an example.

These vans run perfectly 10 years later, I guess I never understood the leasing obsession.
