 Traded in an 8 year old Odyssey and I believe this car is worth twice the $.  Diesel engine is amazing, both for its frugality and drivability, coupled with the 7 speed trans it make the vehicle drive and perform flawlessly.  The most comfortable car I've ridden in/driven so far.  Reminds me most of the 80/90's S-Class cars that were very solid and were very comfortable for hours and hours of driving.  Softer seats than in the 08 E class.  Not sure if this model will make it.  No one seems to buy them.  Much nicer than an SUV. Materials are 1st Rate.
