Starex gold premium or new Honda odyssey

**Wh1stl3r** · March 6th, 2015 05:55 PM

To me Toyota seems to be cashing in on their name. If you compare cars in the same segment the Toyota is almost always more expensive (specially the TOTL variants) just because it's a Toyota. Can't say it's undeserved but they are certainly maximizing profits with their pricing.

The new Odyssey is the JDM version I think. That's why it's smaller than the older Odyssey which is closer to the Town and Country, Sienna etc in size. The width is comparable to compact cars. It has the 2.4L engine.

Also saw the Odyssey at Honda Rizal. It's nice. If I had the money, I'd buy it now.

Hi,

I googled and I found out that you just bought the Odyssey so I joined to ask about. My wife and I are looking for the same car but no news on availability from our sales executive(Honda Alabang).

If you don't mind,may I know where you got your from and can you share the price and freebies?

If it's not convenient to post, please PM.

Thanks

*foresterx: Score! The Ody might not have the space of other vans, but that middle row is impressive. ;)

As far as I know, there is no V6 JDM Ody.

got it at honda bgc. no cash discount and freebies are the usual tint, matting, lto, window visor, door garnish and some other stuff i forgot will check the quotation when i get home.

if you're going to get one i suggest get one asap, units are being sold fast and current price is just introductory price only and will get 50k increase by next month.
