#51 of 2021 fwd or 4wd! by inside Sep 26, 2002 (9:57 pm)
the new Sienna will be FWD or AWD, 18' longer than the current model and it will be sitting on the same frame that the Tundra and Sequoia are on ( I know this from talking to some of the contractors that installed the new Sienna equipment at TMMI (I work at TMMK, on line 2 (Sienna + Camry line)))

Are you sure its 18" longer. It would be more like 8". if its 18" longer then they will redesign it within an yr!!!

18" longer - wouldn't that make it a foot longer than the Odyssey. Way to huge for me!

Deepan: What do you mean by "they will redesign it within a year".
#55 of 2021 MY 2004 by deepan Sep 27, 2002 (7:12 am)
well that was a tongue and cheek comment. my point was the size of a Grand caravan (~200") was the ideal size and ford, chevy and Honda followed. Why would toyota extend it by another 10" or so and test a new market. They know the odyssey is selling like hot cakes and followed them by designing the magic seat with split so IMHO it would be around 200".
#56 of 2021 Size and Styling by markum1 Oct 01, 2002 (6:48 pm)
We're currently in the market looking for a Minivan. Love the Toyota but its not big enough at 192". The Honda is 200" and even thats a little small. Five month wait does'nt excite me either.   So can anybody clarify the length ??? An extra 18" makes it 210" long ????? Not the 200" that the Honda is currently. I'd be interested in the extra length. We're looking for a Minivan to cart 3 giant (130 lb) dogs in and the extra length would be great. How wide ????   I've also seen pictures of the proposed 2004 Nissan Quest. Very nice exterior styling....it's not just a box on wheels. Any news on the exterior styling?

>the new Sienna will be FWD or AWD, 18' longer than the current model and it will be sitting on the same frame that the Tundra and Sequoia   I haven't read anything that it will be a body on frame design. I think you mean it will be built at the same factory as Tundra and Sequoia due to the length of the vehicle.

I highly doubt Toyota will make the new Sienna 18" longer, or 210". It would get much heavier, and any extra hp from the larger engine would be wasted carrying the extra weight around. It would not be a minivan anymore. Remember a full sized Ford van is 212 inches long.   If Toyota had two vans (would be nice after all they have 5 SUV's) they might make one of them that large, but not as their only van.   My perfect Toyota van would be slightly smaller than the Sienna with The 2.4 l 4-cyl engine and a manual transmission (Tall Camry Wagon). It would be perfect for my needs since I just use the car to go places, and don't drag race or tow anything. I can garuntee Toyota will never build that.
#59 of 2021 Good points dudleyr by marjoker Oct 04, 2002 (8:43 am)
A much larger Sienna would be longer than Ford Econoline but with less interior space due to lower height.      Why not have 2 minivans since Toyota already has 5 SUV's of various sizes?      A "tall" Camry wagon would be nice but Honda tried it with the first Oddysey which did not sell well here.      If they did adopt your suggestion of a tall Camry wagon, why not have 3 Toyota minivans:      #1. Tall Camry wagon.      #2. Keep current Sienna size.      #3. Have larger Odyssey size with the fold into the floor rear seat.      Toyota has been very successful with many sedan sizes, many SUV sizes, and 2 sizes pickups with various configurations.
#60 of 2021 Tall Camry Wagon? by coolguyky7 Oct 04, 2002 (2:34 pm)
That's called the Highlander.
