IMO the Estima is the right vehicle that's needed in the USA, Much better than the Mazda 5.The Venza is a glorified station wagon with huge 20 in. wheels.

Toyota would still be better built that any Ford ever thought about being built.
 
Now brother that is the truth and why I bought my Sienna.
 
I have yet to find a car that looked better in person than it does in the glossy publicity shots. Most don't live up to the hype. If they can't make it look good with perfect lighting and shooting the best angles, it is just not going to look good.

I'm only referring to the exterior styling. The interior looks fine. I'm sure it's a fine van.
 
My Sienna is far from pretty, but it's still the best van sold here, IMHO.

The 2010 is not redesigned, it's the same as the 07-09.

Yeah, I just noticed on Toyota's website that the 2010 models are already on sale. Same as 2009. That's unusally long for a Toyota model. That's 7 years (since 2004) without a major redesign. The current model, while good and refined, is really dated.

What a shame. Toytoa Japan has at least three models that they could immediately send to the US without having to do more R/D with the US market. If they dont redesign for 11, they will most likely loose many loyal drivers as well as prospective buyers to other makers. Toyota, please give us a redesign...

Please note the 2011 model Sienna (and Odyssey for that matter) will be a redesign. Expected date they will start manufacturing the new models is Jan 2010. Of course, this is based on leaks and best calculated guesses but at this time, these dates seem accurate.

They updated the powertrain in 2007, and the new engine is still best-in-class for both power and economy.
 
I waited for and got an '07, mostly for that gem of an engine. 266hp, great fuel economy, chain driven camshafts so no timing belt to replace.
 
I'd like to see a faster-acting transmission, but otherwise I feel the powertrain is up-to-date and even tops for a minivan.
 
I'd also like to see a power hatch on LE models, and for them to figure out a way to offer AWD without forcing the awful run-flat tires.
 
Still, if I were buying a new minivan today, it would be another Sienna, without a doubt.

State of the art for 2004 or 2007, but not for 2010. Powertrain in the Lexus Rx is better - 6 speed transmission, hybrid option.
 
Minivans have been losing market share to CUVs for the past 6-7 years. Its not just Sienna vs. Odyssey, as many on the East and West Coast assume, or Sienna vs. Odyssey vs. Grand Caravan, as the Midwesterners view it.
 
It's Sienna vs. Odyssey vs. Highlander vs. Murano vs. Suburban vs. ...........
