Well, yearly price increases are pretty much standard procedure, especially with the Honda's. It has the cylinder deactivate feature to save gas during cruising, a time when all cylinders are not needed.A friend of mine has one that is about 5 years old, and HIS has 270H/P, so for SOME reason they are reducing power as time goes on. Can't explain why.You can buy a Toyota Sienna for a LOT less money, equipped almost as well.
