Let's just say I know a guy that is the durability engineer on the engine in that odyssey. That engine is great. You should have zero concerns about the durability or maintenance requirements for the v6. Get the Odyssey, a lot of great ideas and this guys blood sweat and tears went in to making that

It's awesome to read everyone's feedback on Odysseys. This...guy I know... sees all the behind the scenes stuff and the debates over the features and specs.

The Honda is going to last you a long time and have great resale value (probably better than even toyota). Some of the tech in there like the intercom system, magic seats, and baby seat camera has me considering one and I'm not even that old

Historically across all manufactures that's probably true, but the Japanese brands do a very good of catching those things and many of the parts on the vehicles carry over from the previous model (90%+?). They also start cost cutting after the first year, so it's not something to avoid in my opinion.
