Toyota is putting a plan in place for the eventual marginalization of the minivan. The Odyssey and Sienna are the two best in the market, and they are seeing 10-15% drops every year. The crossover is replacing the minivan, and Toyota is coming up with a crossover that thinks it's a minivan. It's a plan. In 5 years, we'll see if it bears fruit. Toyota could be ahead of the curve with this large, low crossover. Chrysler may get credit for starting it. Will Toyota perfect it?  DrFill

Replying to: kenym (Oct 06, 2007 10:55 am) And Nissan, with its also-ran minivan. I have a theory that most of the subsidence in the minivan segment in the last couple of years is all the domestic fleet van sales going away. Odyssey sales are consistent. Sienna sales were way up for quite a while. If Toyota does produce this huge crossover in a size above Highlander, I hope no-one will have the brilliant idea that it makes the Sienna redundant - that would be a case of the marketing department getting ahead of itself and the market too.

Replying to: nippononly (Oct 08, 2007 11:35 am) Toyota can engineer an accelerated demise of the Sienna, if the croosover hits. I think it has one more redesign in it. That will buy it a few more years. 7-8 years from now, I think Sienna will be a footnote in Toyota history, but I hope I'm wrong.  DrFill DrFill

The vehicle on the Toyota website is much smaller than a vehicle potentially produced in other markets, with a 3rd row, and the 3.5 V6. I'll try to find more information on it. DrFill
