Trucks and vans always used to be on longer life cycles from all the major manufacturers. Ford is the one company that is trying to go to 5-6 year life cycles on trucks to keep them very competative against the imports who are "behind" in that market. I think ford is planning a full redesign on the f150 very soon.

Umm I'm pretty sure Japan has the Odyssey... I've seen some crazy Turbo JDM Odyssey's online before.
Yup:

The third generation Japanese-built Odyssey was the first full redesign of the Odyssey since its introduction in 1995. Going on sale in Japan in late 2003, and in Australia and many other countries in 2004, it continued with a 4-door body style, with a much sleeker, lower, and more car-like appearance. The new Odyssey came with the Honda K24 engine, a 2.4 L unit producing 158 hp (118 kW); this is the same engine used in the CR-V and Accord. The V6 engine was dropped completely. However, this has not stopped the new Odyssey from becoming a sales success. In Australia, the Odyssey achieved its best-ever sales year in 2005, and has outsold the Toyota Tarago for the first time.
