Honda has been having some problems cause by overloading their automatic transmissions. Its likly they recurved the engine for touque and economy, sacrificing horsepower.
My advice? Test drive one of each and see if you can tell the difference.

bobsled's the only one who got it right. New epa guidelines shrink hp for most makes. Still a sweet van, although I bought a Sienna for the "real" 8 seats and quiter interior.

A lot of times it is because of the transmission. Is one manual and the other is a automatic.
It can also be if one is turbo and one is not.
A turbo can and does develope more horse power
