For those who remember, the 1995 - 1998 Honda Odyssey, you'll remember it was a smaller van (actually built on the then Accord platform), was a 4 cylinder van, and had 4 doors that opened like a sedan, not the sliding doors. Due to demand in the US for a bigger van, in 1999, the Odyssey grew into it's current incarnation with a V6 and sliding doors. The smaller van survived in Japan (I think was even still called an Odyssey) and continued to do well. In the US and Canada, the demand for a smaller van was still there, and it looks like we are going to be bringing the small van back!
Here's a link to what I found;

The Canadian market is still waiting. With gas prices being what they are, why is it so hard to get these more efficient and awesome looking crossover vehicles into Canada. The Fit is a bit small and our CRV is overkill for 95% of daily commuting. The 2005 CRV we have only gets 300k/ tank in the city and 550k/tank highway. That is with no car starter and an economical foot. Honda service departments have told me that everything is working fine and the numbers are normal, but city ratings are nowhere near stated values. If they don't want to bring the Stream in then please put a hybrid in the CRV and Pilots where it is need most, not the Civic.
