WOW...Is this forum dead!
     I bought a 2006 Sienna but think the front end of the 2004/05 is more attractive. I would also prefer the CD and Cassette player in the 2005 to the 6 CD in dash changer with MP3 capability of my 2006.
     However, the instrument cluster of my 2006 Sienna LE is much more attractive than that of the 2005 Sienna LE.

Yes this is true.
 
The 06 Siennas have a 9" DVD screen while the 05's have a 7" screen.

I currently own 98 Sienna LE with 200,000+ miles. I am ready to buy a new minivan but discouraged due to these gas prices. I am wodering if Toyota is working to bring V4 Sienna like they have some models in Asia

I doubt it. There is simply no market.
 
The Sienna gets pretty good mileage for a car of its size though.

07 Model year release date and run flat tires by vaskier

Does anyone know about when the 07 models will come out? I am hoping that they do away with the run flat tires on the AWD version considering all the problems with these tires.

The CAN'T do away with the run-flat tires on the AWD version until they figure out a non-invasive place to stow the spare.
 
Any ideas?

As pesky as those run flats are, Toyota has to keep them because there is no other place to put the spare tire and still have a fold flat third row seat and all the AWD gear.

Can't they just do what Mazda does with the Miata...supply decent tires and a can of tire inflator? That would work for me.

Uh, I think the typical buyer of a minivan would be slightly less 'adventurous' than a sportscar owner. I think trying to sell a prospective Sienna buyer on that whole concept might be a tad difficult.......

I believe that you may see a hybrid Sienna in the new model, MY 2008, linking the 2.4L + HSD like in the the new Camry hybrid. This is already out in Japan for seveal years as the Estima.
 
2.4L + HSD would give you V6 power like your 98 - 02 model but fuel economy - real world - in the low mid 30 mpg range. Most new owners of the sleeker, lighter hybrid Camry are reporting FE initially in the high 30 mpg range.
 
This would be a killer benefit for the Sienna over the Odyssey. Fuel economy is so important to the typical van buyer with a tight budget.
 
For example: take your choice
$27000 LE V6 3.5L with 268 hp and estimated FE of 22 city and 29 Highway
OR
$27500 Sienna hybrid ( TSH ) with 190 hp and FE of 33 Highway and 38 City
 
The new Sienna will definitely have the 3.5L powerplant now in the Avalon, RAV, Camry, ES350, RX350 and new Highlander. It's an amazing engine.
