The current Stream was introduced way back in 2006, and Honda gave the Stream a mid-life refresh just 2 months ago. The Stream now has a more corporate family look, following the FCX Clarity style, which was then used on the Insight and the Japanese Odyssey. Along with the refresh, Honda has given a modified suspension and different various trim choices for the interior. As well as exterior color changes, also come a new RST model, helping the compact MPV to achieve an R-type character. This does not include powerplant upgrades but only exterior styling that consists of a new rear bumper with integrated air diffuser and special taillights, fresh 17-inch alloy wheels, ergonomic seats, sportier interior trim that comes with aluminum embellishments and contrasting red stitching on the leather steering wheel and gear knob together with a sportier suspension arrangement. Honda removed the third row seating from the compact MPV in keeping with its sporty character and for weight reduction purposes.
