Yes, minivans are family-mobiles. That's a total insult until you, y'know, have a family. Then, all of a sudden, their massive practicality starts to be pretty damn appealing. Too bad they all look like bread-boxes on wheels, or worse, bloated bread-boxes on wheels.
The 2011 Odyssey, though, honestly looks awesome. Honda's sci-fi styling works with a minivan in a way it just doesn't with a compact hatch or a midsize family sedan.

The 19 mpg city, 28 mpg highway for a 3.5L V6 in a vehicle this large is pretty impressive. The three-mode cylinder shutoff system must work decently, or maybe it just games the system well. Otherwise, it's mechanically unremarkable.
