2018 Honda Odyssey:
Advanced new powertrains, body and chassis: The 2018 Honda Odyssey will be powered by a 3.5-liter, direct-injected i-VTEC™ V-6 engine with Variable Cylinder Management™ (VCM™). Peak engine output is 280 SAE net horsepower (+32 HP) and benefits from the advanced capabilities of its two available new transmissions - a 9-speed automatic and, for upper grades an all-new, Honda-developed 10-speed automatic, the first of its kind in a minivan, providing more confident and refined performance. These advanced new powertrains, together with a more rigid and lightweight body, new chassis technology, and Odyssey's sleek and aerodynamic new design are expected to result in class-leading performance and top-in-class EPA fuel economy ratings. Honda's Intelligent Traction Management system adds normal and snow modes and combines with Agile Handling Assist and a more powerful braking system for improved all-weather traction and control. Advanced new body and chassis: An all-new body and chassis design underpins the new Odyssey's incredibly quiet cabin and class-leading steering precision, handling prowess and ride comfort. The Odyssey body utilizes advanced materials, including ultra-high-strength steel, aluminum and magnesium to simultaneously minimize weight and improve body rigidity. Vehicle weight is down by up to 96 pounds, depending on trim, and torsional body rigidity is up 44 percent from the outgoing model. New chassis features include a highly-responsive new Dual-Pinion Electric Power Steering (EPS) with .44 fewer turns lock-to-lock for increased response and easy maneuverability; and a compact new trailing arm rear suspension with stabilizer bar that not only enables improved handling and ride comfort, but also provides for the most spacious rear cargo area in the class...

2018 Subaru ASCENT:
What It Is: Subaru has been without a three-row crossover SUV since it discontinued its ill-received Tribeca in 2014. However, the brand isn’t giving up on the segment, as seen in these spy photos. Wearing generous amounts of camouflage, Subaru’s new seven-passenger SUV appears to follow the smaller Forester’s formula for success, which marries a boxy exterior design with generous interior space. Although Subaru has not officially released a name for its new crossover, the brand formally registered the moniker Ascent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office earlier this month. Subaru also applied for trademarks on Ascent 7, Ascent Seven, Sojourn, Venterra, and Cypress, but the company did not follow through with registration of these names. Isuzu has used the name Ascender in the U.S., but no one remembers that vehicle; if there's any risk of name confusion it might be with Hyundai's subcompact Accent, which differs by only one letter. Why It Matters: Subaru just can’t seem to lose these days. As of August 2016, the company has sold nearly 400,000 vehicles in America, a gain of more than 4 percent over the same sales period last year. This success is fueled by U.S. buyers who can’t get enough all-wheel-drive crossovers, and Subaru aims to carry that momentum into the three-row segment....
