Re: Sienna LE 3.5L 268 HP gas mileage estimates [hansienna] by kdhspyder

The current Sienna is rated 19/27 with the 3.3L based on the old testing methods.
 
The new 266 hp 3.5L which will be in the new '07's is significantly more efficient than the older engine. My guesstimate back in May was 22/29 City/Hwy. However according to the press release last week the new ratings are 19/26 City/Hwy.
 
I will venture that the new ( more difficult ) EPA testing criteria are incorporated into these ratings since it will be mandatory for 2008 MY anyway. This engine will be in the new 2008's and beyond so I'd be shocked if it wasn't tested under those criteria.

No 3.5l engine by gujuguy

One of the dealer called me and said that 2007 invoice lists 3.3l and not 3.5l engine as projected. Can someone confirm as I hardly believe dealers.
 
If thats the case than Odyssey is my first choice.

Here is an email snippet that I got recently.
 
"I am your Internet Sales Specialist here at Fitzgerald's. Regarding the 2007 Siennas, we expect these to begin arriving in January and we anticipate having pricing and ordering information sometime later this month. The only substantive change will the the change to the 3.5L V6."

I still can't figure out why the delay and secret about this. I can think of two possible reasons: 1) there are some problems with the model that was identified late and could not be fixed in time for Jul/Sep/Oct release.
 
or
 
2) They over-produced 2006s and have to get rid of those first. I can still ses 50+ at large dealerships.
 
I emailed Toyota and could not get straight answer from them. This is strange.

How about issue #3 - Toyota is rolling the 3.5L out across its entire model line formerly powered by 3.0L/3.3L engines, AND its RWD platforms. Thats a TON of vehicles - and capacity/tooling requires significant changeover. My guess is that capacity was not there for Toyota to accomplish this all at once, and it was deemed much more important to have this engine available in other vehicles first (redesigned Camry, ES, '07 GS, etc).

Sienna pricing out today by kdhspyder

... plus the new RAV ) Along with the continuing Avalon.
 
Just received the new pricing, in line with what FitzMall emailed to the prior poster.
 
Yes the only change is the 3.5L
 
Remember the 'anniversary' of this Gen Sienna is March. It was first intro'd as a 2004 in March of '03. Toyota has had great success with these 'early-in-the-year' launches.
2003 Sienna
2005 Avalon
2006 Camry
2007 Tundra???
 
The Corolla recently has also been an early-in-the-year debut.

Interesting observation....
 
Do we have to wait till March ? Will this be 2008 Model, I don't think so And if it comes out in March, wouldn't that would make 2008 model in September too soon?

Since pricing was just announced I believe that the new 2007's are on the way. Typically the pricing comes out just before the vehicles do.
 
Also the Holiday time is a big minivan purchasing period.
 
Just a guess but I'd say the 'all new' 2009 Sienna will be out in about 18 months.. May/June of '08. Hopefully there will be a hybrid version in that debut.

I checked the toyota.com Is this correct that LE, XLE and XLE limited have two packages each?

I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Quite a bit more than two packages each, but less than the ABSURD number in the past.
