That would be great planning on EDIGs part. I can't imagine the idea of a lawsuit hadn't popped into their heads during the design process.

What would make an even greater stroke of genius would be if they never even intended to market this look-a-like design (I've seen some comments saying that the Odyssey picture looks like a digitally modified mockup), and just used it to get publicity as you said. All the while, the asian factories are pumping out the real, distinctive Odyssey 1000 for rollout in September. That way we'd get everything, the exposure, no worries about a lawsuit, and no losses from inventory/parts that would have to be scrapped in a redesign.
