If you're shopping for one of these models or perhaps already own one, take a look at our 2006 comparison. Tell us what you think. Agree? Disagree? Comparison Test: 2006 Minivans |

Replying to: KarenS (Nov 14, 2006 10:02 am) So, why test the '06, and why with AWD? Omitting that option would have put the vehicles price more on par with the Ody's. ~alpha |

Replying to: KarenS (Nov 14, 2006 10:02 am) If you want UNSURPASSED comfort,quality and luxury, Sienna it is. - of course I brought it  If you want the fun factor, then Ody is the way to do. But I somehow found that the "instant apparent quality" you experience stepping into a Sienna, missing in an Ody. The only thing missing in Sienna's arsenal is power and I hope that it will be duly addressed in the upcoming '07 model. |

As previously stated the new 2007 Sienna will pack the new corporate 3.5 liter engine used in various Toyota and Lexus models. It would have been more fair to test the regular FWD version of the Sienna. It would have been cheaper and faster. Edmunds will not do another minivan comparo until the Town And Country is redesigned.

Replying to: ew3074 (Nov 15, 2006 12:09 am) I certainly think that better fuel efficiency, more power, and the $3,200 (omit AWD and accessory options) savings noted in the edmunds.com text COULD have made a difference. ~alpha

Replying to: alpha01 (Nov 15, 2006 7:37 am) Accord's total score was only a fraction of a point behind the all-new 2007 Toyota Camry. Where the Camry excelled in performance, the Accord did so in feature content. Where the Camry was strong in our 24-point evaluation, the Accord was better on price. Remember, the 2007 Camry is brand new, but the accord isn't. When the 2008 Accord comes out, I bet it will beat the Camry in their test. I agree with you about methodlogies.The fun-to-drive factor and performance is just too important for them ,but the majority of buyers don't think so. They are biased toward Honda not because it's a Honda , but it is some kind of performance-oriented car or fun-to-drive car.

Replying to: ew3074 (Nov 15, 2006 9:54 am) Edmunds.com is NOT biased toward Honda, but the Ody won this comparo. Deal with it. I would have liked to have seen the '07s tested, but the simple fact is that Honda builds tremendous products. When they deserve to win comparos, they do. This does not mean that a publication is biased. ~alpha |
