Vans & Minivans 2008 Minivans

You are in the Vans & Minivans Forum. Your Host is Karens
Does anyone know when the 2008 minivans arrive on the scene? I'm especially interested in the Toyota Sienna and the Honda Odyssey. Will there be any changes? Comments appreciated.

Replying to: bench (Apr 13, 2007 8:19 am) The 2008 Sienna and Odyssey are not due for a major overhall. 2009 for the Sienna (i think) and 2010 for the Odyssey (I'm sure). 2008 should bring small changes but not a new platform. (new tail lights, few more details but that's it) As for timeing most come out Aug/Sept. Look for details to leak out June/July. |

Well, Toyota had a minor face-lift for 2006, and a new engine for 2007. I doubt there will be significant changes until the new model arrives. The 2007s arrived in January, so don't expect 2008 models too soon. Here's a question, though, what improvements are you looking for? IMHO the minivan market is fairly mature, i.e. the wish list for segment leaders is established. My Sienna has 266hp, which is enough to get me too many speeding tickets, so it certainly doesn't need more power. The 2nd row windows go down. The door tracks are nicely hidden. You can get 7 seats or 8. FWD or AWD. Magic 3rd row. SAC and VSC for safety. You can get every power option under the sun, if you're willing to pay for it. What's missing? Honestly.  I think the stigma that minivans carry has forced automakers to keep improving these vehicles, enough that there's not much else to do that I can think of.

We are thinking about buying the Hyundai Entourage or its "sister", the Kia Sedona. Here in Canada, due to the trim levels and 0% purchase financing, the Hyundai looks like a better deal...BUT the Kia dealer claims that the Entourage will not be continued (hard to believe, since it is new for 2007). Does anyone know the scoop on this? Many thanks! |
