Wow!  We've got even more good news for the Honda Odyssey.
 
Congratulations, 2011 Odyssey, you've just earned the coveted Five Star Safety Ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration!

So, what's the big deal?  Well, the NHTSA really buckled down on star requirements last year after having roughly 90% of automobiles qualifying for 4 and 5 Star ratings.  As automakers were innovating new safety equipment, the old rating system remained.  With most vehicles making the 4 or 5 Star mark, companies who went the extra-safe mile were receiving no additional recognition.  To encourage the automakers to keep pushing for higher safety measures, the NHTSA raised the bar of requirements for the 2011 class.

Under the new more strict criteria, only 11 out of 50 examined vehicles earned the highest 5 Star Ranking!  Out of the 11, Honda claims 2!

Let's not forget about the other chart topping Honda, the 2011 Honda Accord.  This year's Accord model received the highest NHTSA rating of any tested 2011 vehicle!
