Honda Odyssey

It was introduced in 1995 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 Accord's, many critics thought the interior was too small 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. These older small vans still live on as New York City taxis under Isuzu and Honda nameplates. This unusual sharing of vehicles resulted from a lack of SUV's 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.
