Actually, I believe the Odyssey EX-L has a power liftgate. Of course, the Touring does as well.

Are you sure? When did they add that feature?
 
It didn't in 2007 when I was shopping (also per the ConsumerGuide I have in front of me). Same for model year 2008 (same source).
 
Of course they could be wrong...or Honda may have added the feature for model year '09 or 2010. Lemme check Edmunds...
 
Found 'em for the '09:
 
SUV / Minivan Doors
dual power sliding side doors rear power liftgate door
 
So Honda must have added that for the 2009 model year, then.

Out of curiosity I checked the 09 EX on Edmunds and they list:
 
SUV / Minivan Doors
dual power sliding side doors rear liftgate door
 
So you're absolutely right, the EX-L model adds that feature as of MY09.

Yes, that (adding the Power liftgate to EXL) was the big change from 08 (the MidModelChange) to 09. Memory seats still require Touring though.

Thanks for the detailed info.
 
Usually I buy a Consumer's Guide book each model year, but my most recent one is 2008. It's late for an 09 so I'll probably wait until the 2010 model year edition comes out.
 
I like the format they use - makes it easy to see what you get with each model. They will list the LX, then they list the EX and say "EX adds: ...".
 
Even for the Sienna they list each package for each model. It reads like a menu, so it's simple to find what you want, if it is available.

Odyssey 2010 EX vs Sienna 2010 LE by madams1

Just comparing the 2 MSRP and if you take the Sienna LE and add the #2 package which includes 2 power doors and 8 way power drivers seat adj. there is a big difference in the price. Including destination, the Odyssey EX would be 30,615 and the Sienna LE plus #2 package would be 27,440. Would have to drive to see if the Odyssey is worth 3K more for basically the same features. I picked the power package #2 for comparison since my wife insists on 2 power doors.

I made a similar observation back in 2007 when I bought mine. Back then it was called Package 3 on the LE, though. They changed it to EVP #2 for model year 2008.
 
The Ody will have dual zone climate control, FWIW, while the Sienna has a trip computer.
 
You'll find minor differences in equipment like that, but I agree those are roughly comparable models.
 
I opted for the Lotus Evora's engine.

What years and what model Siennas have you owned? Do you still own either one or did you dump each after you found out neither was as good as your earlier Chrysler van?
 
The Sienna is a good van if a person wants the most cargo space behind the 3rd row and is satisfied with an uncomfortable front passenger seat, uncomfortable 2nd row seats, and overpriced Toyota routine maintenance.

We owned a 2004 Limited AWD model and now own a 2007 Sienna XLE FWD model. We only switched because we didn't need the AWD and wanted the upgraded motor(timing chain vs. timing belt) even though the 3.3L was fine. Our Previous Chrysler T&C was a POS and was not comparable to the Sienna in our Opinion.
 
Your post about the Sienna are getting old. I agree with thegraduate.
