The Honda Odyssey is a minivan manufactured by Japanese automaker Honda since 1994. The first generation Odyssey was marketed in Europe as the Shuttle. The North American fourth generation Odyssey takes on a much more sleek and modern appearance compared to previous generation models, as well as other minivans, SUVs and concept cars. It was officially released on sale on September 30, 2010 for the 2011 model year.
The 2010 Toyota RAV-4 comes in Base, Sport and Limited trims, with either a four-cylinder or a V-6 engine, and either front-wheel drive or an on-road-biased all-wheel-drive system. Automatic transmissions come standard (a four-speed unit for the four-cylinder, a five-speed auto for the V-6). The 2010 RAV-4 is close to Toyota’s midsize Highlander in length and actually has a more powerful V-6. Yet thanks to its more narrow width and lighter weight, it’s easier to park and achieves superior fuel economy when comparably equipped. In reviews, the RAV-4 has always impressed with its blend of versatility, space and engine choices that are both powerful and fuel-efficient. It is one of the top choices in its increasingly crowded class.
