Look also at the Isuzu Oasis. Its the same car made buy Honda and simply
badged as an Isuzu (Honda got to sell the Isuzu Rodeo as the Honda Passport

They continued to sell four door Odysseys as Isuzus for another year or two
after Honda started selling the bigger Canadian built Odysseys in the US.
