New 2011 Honda Odyssey Included in Honda Line-up at Honda Cars of McKinney

Online, March 24, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The Honda Odyssey, a consistent top-selling minivan, receives updates for 2011, including better fuel economy, more standard and optional features, a new design, and top safety ratings. Honda Cars of McKinney, of Dallas, currently has a wide selection of the newly redesigned minivan in stock.

The 2011 Honda Odyssey is the first and only minivan this year to earn top safety ratings from both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The minivan was named a 2011 Top Safety Pick from the IIHS; this highest honor recognizes the Odyssey's scoring of 'Good' in all tested categories. In addition the Odyssey received NHTSA's top score of five stars as its Overall Vehicle Score.

The Odyssey's top safety ratings are due to its multitude of standard safety features and the vehicle's Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure. The design of the body is built specifically to enhance occupant protection and keep passengers safe in frontal crashes.

In addition to the Odyssey's impressive safety scores, the minivan also can achieve up to 28 mpg highway, a very high number for an eight passenger van. For 2011 other vehicle enhancements includes sleek styling, and new features such as the chilled storage box, surround-sound audio system, and rear-seat entertainment system.
