how different is the JDM version over the KM version? Quite a big premium for JDM. What's the interior color? Kah's come only in Beige and wood panels...yucks...

Which PI? Can pm me if not good to discuss here...thanks!

Bro,

JDM Absolute is 206 PS, KM I think is 170+ PS, not sure abt KM Oddy power...

Interior is blue & grey, chk this out - http://www.honda.co.jp/ODYSSEY/absolute/equipment/

I also can't recall which PI, it's the row of PI direct opp. the turf city rows of kopi shop, walk along the PI shops facing the kopi shop and you will be able to see a silver JDM Oddy........... :D :D :D

Good Luck............. :D :D :D :D

Hi all,

Was at KM Ubi yesterday to have a look at the new 2009 Oddy. Frankly, apart from the cosmetic bodywork changes, it is basically the same car as the earlier generation Oddy.

The front looks a lot like the VW range of new cars and the back lights are now more like the Toyota Camry's. Sad thing is that the ability to go "manual" with the Oddy is now lost forever! WHY!!!!?????

Met up with my SE and he also advised to just hold onto my present pre-FL Oddy (circa April 2006).

Just my 2 cents worth...

That's my take too even when I was eager to change to the new ODC. Went to testdrive at KM but was dissapointed with the aestetics and power of the car.

Interior panel doesnt look as sophisticated as my present KM absolute with the tweeter speaker sticking out partially from the dash. The buttons and the gear stick look cheap and dated.

Front bumper to the back doesnt have the "ODC" appeal...just like some bros said hear.....front looks like stream and the back looks like camry or exiga or altis.

Power wise...cant feel the extra 20bhp (180bhp)

Conclusion : Get the JDM model by PI as the interior looks better and the 206bhp will come in handy if you dont mind the extra 10K.

I will stick to my present ODC as the depreciation for ODC is one of the of the worst even b4 my car was 1 yr old it depreciated from 99K to 69K. When it was 1 yr old, it went down from 99K to 65K. Some more it's a HONDA!!! :evil: :evil: :evil:

When I sold my wish b4 I got my ODC it only went down from 65K to 57K in 1 and a half year only.....dont know whether to switch back to toyota when I'm able to sell my ODC........

I have to agree that the depreciation level for the Oddy is ridiculous. I was also quoted 69k for my 11 month Oddy Abs when I asked my regular SE to check just for fun. After test driving the new Oddy, the main change that I noticed was the lighter steering and slight improvement to the pickup speed. However, the beige interior turned me off instantly even though I have been hankering for a solution to install a video display in front for the longest time. Probably wait till the next face lift comes out in 2 yrs time before considering my next upgrade.

The new Ody looks like a Stationwagon from rear.

Looks like a Audi... :?
I love my FREED. I love the FREEDOM. =)

Eversince I discovered the rediculous depreciation of my ODC, here's my verdict abt buying another ODC : Buy them 2nd hand coz it will depreciate a lot in a year or 2. *sigh*
