Looks like the driver's shoulders are below the door sill with the wide door panels and narrow side windows. I'd have to give up driving with my left elbow on top of the door panel unless the seat can be adjusted upwards high enough and there's still some headroom.

Good camo job. Can't see much besides the grille, which is half way between the Venza and the Genesis sedan.

Did you mean door sills or top of door..??
 
Door vertical deminsions being so tall probably has more to do with gaining a five star safety rating from the feds. PU doors are generally already elevated above T-boning bumper.

Yes, I really meant to say window sills, not door sills. Brain fart.
 
I imagine the high door sills will just have to be something I'll have to get used to.

Lets hope it looks better from the side, that's the only reason we have not already bought one. It looks so plain and slab sided, just a simple styling crease would make it look so much better. They drive great but Mrs Quattrohead is concerned about the look compared to the Odyssey.

I'll have to agree, the Sienna lacks in the styling arena. Slab sided, and ugly headlights do not help it at all. Looks meek or timid. I like the interior and mechanical features of the Sienna and the exterior styling of the Odyssey.

The Sienna is no looker, but I don't get why people think the Ody is better?
 
Both are bread boxes. No style at all.
 
The Ody doesn't even hide the sliding door rail on the side under the window, more discreetly. Instead you see a bunch of seams and a wide hole.
 
The headlights on the Ody are HUGE, too big IMHO. I actually like the previous generation Ody better.
 
Styling probably ranks 113th on my list of criteria for minivans, so I guess it doesn't really matter to me either way.

Toyota confirms new Sienna in January to TV station by mffan310

At the line-off celebration for the US-built Highlander at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana (home of the Sienna) today, Toyota officials also confirmed a new Sienna that's launching in January to WTVW-TV 7 (the local FOX affiliate in Evansville, near the TMMI plant). Sounds like an LA Auto Show introduction in December to me, followed by January availability at dealers.

Now, the $64,000 question is: Will the AWD Sienna be replaced by a Sienna Hybrid?

I bet they do.
 
Toyota has so many AWD/4WD options now - RAV4, Highlander, 4Runner, Sequoia, and the new Venza.
 
OTOH, it is the only AWD minivan left, so they have the niche to themselves.
