So what happened to the "25-30K range"?...

I guess that the LX and EX are still 'within' that range but just barely. The LX is a lot more than I counted on which means I will probably never have a shot at it. $27,360 for an LX model is just way too much for me and I am certainly disappointed. I guess I will probably be looking at slightly used Odyssyes in the future. For the money the Odyssey definitely meets our needs better. We shall see.
