I heard 'within the year'. I'd guess next summer as a new 2009 model. But it's only a guess.

You're right! We started doing it because Honda was doing it first. Turnabout is fair play
 I don't get your statement about the "less appearing to plagiarize Lincoln"

Well, didn't Lincoln have the whole Mark series? I believe the latest was the Mark VIII?

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?

Ford and Chevy already dropped there minivans.
The only minivans still on the market are from Honda, Toyota, Chrysler and Kia.

The Mark X has been in Japan for quite a long time. I'm sure they will call it something else when they bring it here.

and soon....VW. Which also has crossovers in two sizes, the larger built on a platform sturdy enough to do some serious offroading supposedly.
 
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.

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy, if Sienna sales fall under 100k.
 
   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.
