So whats the newest Honda you have owned? I'm talking about the 5sp auto's in their new cars. My old boss has a 2006 V6 EX that had to get the trans done at 70k miles.

The Honda Odyssey trans problems are well documented:

The Accord diesel gets launched in India by December, that would be the newest Honda for me with six speed, pity no AWD like their Acura TL though. I would have loved that. The old one is in NY and its still running strong. The Odyssey tranny is a known issue even among Honda techs. The tranny is under rated for the Odyssey's application.
