Can't speak for the Odyssey (spelled like the Greek epic), but I rented a Sienna (free "upgrade" from an Impala from Enterprise) for a week about a year ago.
Yes, it was big. Yes, it was sloppy handling. But otherwise, I was VERY impressed. It managed 22-23 around town most of the time, and brought in 31-32 on the highway (admittedly driving across the flatness that is Florida) It was smooth, comfortable, and loaded down with power features.
And yeah, the expected profile of a people carrier or MPV in most other parts of the world is far more wagonish than in the US.

The van looks great all the way until you get to the back window where it ventures from the natural lines of the car and bends down, then the big thick line cut out for the door to slide through and then the small ass bumper that doesn't match up to the sides of the car. The rear end of this vehicle is hideous!!

My daughter & son-in-law have the older style Odyssey--its a great vehicle- gets decent highway mileage. Even does well riding on rough dirt roads. Not sure I like thai quasi van look. a Van is a van--let it be or just make a damn station wagon.

100% agree on the previa...i've yet to see an Odyssey done just right
