It’s not every day an automaker promotes a feature that sucks.
But Honda unveiled a refreshed version of its popular Odyssey minivan at the 2013 New York Auto Show with a unique option -- a vacuum cleaner built into the rear cargo area.
It's the first vacuum-equipped vehicle to hit the market, ready to suck up all the snacks and drinks spilled by the kids. Honda said it worked with Shop-Vac to design the HondaVac, with a replaceable filter and bag.
The contraption fits into two small compartments built into the left side of the rear cargo area. The top bin holds the hose and attachments, while the bottom section holds the canister.

This is part one of a multi-part "series" on YouTube. If you can find it, I highly recommend buying the DVD and you won't have to watch the documentary in pieces. It's really a classic. Elvis Presley walked into Sam Phillip's studio in 1954. It's hard for one to believe that Sam was responsible for Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Roy Orbion. Wow.
Sam Phillips sounds a lot like Angel, in the Rockford Files, both in his voice and the way he sells himself.
In the next scene, Angel, in typical fashion, tries to bum $20 from Jim Rockford.
