<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/">Honda</a> has released a string of new ads highlighting its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/03/26/2014-honda-odyssey-in-car-vacuum-new-york/">refreshed</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/odyssey/">2014 Odyssey</a> minivan. While the Japanese brand hasn't started bragging about attaining <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/08/29/2014-honda-odyssey-minivan-earns-top-safety-pick-plus-award-video/">the first Top Safety Pick+ for minivans</a>, it's all too happy to brag about another first - the world's first van with a built-in vacuum cleaner. 
 
In three spots, anthropomorphic children's rubbish discusses the merits of the new minivan, only to be sucked up by the built-in vacuum, which is only available in the top-end Touring Elite model. There's also quite a bit of star power floating around for those that watch a lot of TV. Neil Patrick Harris from Doogie Howser, MD and How I Met Your Mother voices a character in one of the spots, while Rainn Wilson from The Office stars in another.
