does the 2007 odyssey have it or only the 2008 and if the 2007 does is the 2008 one updated?

I have a 2006 with it. I saw the 2007 brochure and it also has it so I must assume it will be there in 2008 since a real model change will not come until 2011.

the 2008 has the second generation. the first could be a 6cylinder or 3cylinder. the new one can be a 6, 4, or 3, depending on conditions.

I own a 2007 Odyssey EX-L. The Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) comes standard on the EX, EX-L, and touring. The 2007 cuts the cylinders down to 3, when driving at a constant speed. The 2008 VCM is going to be standard on EX, EX-L, and Touring. The major difference is that it will cut the engine cylinders to 3 or 4, producing better gas mileage than the '07. Both 2007 & 2008 get good gas mileage, but the less aggressive you drive the more MPG.
