You know, something transparent, powered by rabid squirrels, that also flies. More often than not, though, Honda uses the "concept" suffix to preview a new production vehicle that will appear at Honda dealers mere months after the auto show. Honda did just that at the 2005 Chicago Auto Show with the Civic Si Concept. Such is the case with the Honda Odyssey Concept, which is — wait for it — a concept for the next-generation Honda Odyssey minivan. And, we must say, it's not a bad-looking thing.

The most important alteration to the Shelby...
