Have Yourself A "Vantasy"

Watch this video. What do you notice?

 

Did you notice the fire? The music? Or how about the fact that's there is a guy in a commerical with a mini-van? 

The 2011 Honda Odyssey is getting attention for its style, hi tech features and safety ratings. 

Style: One word- SLEEK. The Odyssey's exterior looks as if the Civic grew up and became a crossover. You get alll the luxery and space of a mini-van, but with the appearence of an SUV. Not to mention, this van has a rear roofline spoiler with an integrated break light. Add that to a 248-horsepower V-6 engine and you have yourself one aerodynamic vehicle. 

Hi Tech Features: Keep your family entertained. Talk on your phone without your hands. Make song requests onthe way to work. Navigate to a new location without fumbling with a GPS. THe Odyssey allows for the addition of several neat techinal features such as 

• 16.2 inch split screen capable Ultrawide DVD rear entertainment system
• Song by Voice® feature
• Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ with Voice Recognition
• Bluetooth^® HandsFreeLink^®

The Odyssey also has a multi rear view camera to help you back out tough parking spots or a child filled neighborhood. 

Safety: If you're in the market for a mini-van type vehicle, chances are you have some extra people to cart around...and those extra people are probably kids! The 2011 Odyessy is fully equipped with the latest and greatest safety features:

• Anti-Lock Breaking System (ABS)
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System- helps detect low pressure to avoid accidents!
• Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) Body Structure- includes an exclusive body design that enhances occupant protection and compatibility in head on collisions
• Front Side Airbags with Passenger-Side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS)
• Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH): Lower Anchors (2nd-Row All, 3rd-Row Outboard), Tether Anchors (2nd-Row All, 3rd-Row All)- GREAT for moving baby seats around!

Be sure to learn all about the safety features available in this vehicle from Honda. 

And these are only SOME of the options available with the 2011 Honda Odyssey. It seems as if this vehicle is not only cool enough for any parent, male or female, to drive, but a way to move around your family & friends in a safe way.

The Toyota jump...and other classics

The evolution surrounding Toyota products extends further than advancement of automotive technology.  Before the days of internet marketing and the popularity of social media like Facebook and Twitter, companies relied on creative television and radio ads to make their consumers aware of the newest and greatest things available. Toyota has decades of great ads that truly show the change in automotive, advertising and not to mention fashion styles over time. Have a look!
