The Sienna is based on the Camry chassis, a stiff and strong chassis which is a good start. The new Sienna also has more power and room then the MPV.

Just can't accept how it looks though, and how they advertise as a sports car in Canada is funny. They claim it has 17inch wheels, then go on to say- it's a performance vehicle afterall. And the slick auto tranny with manual override.

Sorry, Toyota you ain't fooling anyone, maybe soccer moms, but not everyone.

I like the Sienna, but personally, the new Nissan Quest is kickin. The Skyview roof, the 3.5 from the Maxima, and some nice styling. But yeah the Sienna is a great choice. Nice little features people overlook. BTW, I'd mention the Odessey, but its UGLY.

the **** is better than a mini-van? an SUV?? then you're wasting even more money on a ******* piece of ****. IMHO, good waste of hard earned money. go out and get 10 mid 80's dodge caravan's for that price and drive one by one until they all ****** crap out and die. it'd last just as long...err..anyway, a mini-van isn't necessarily some nice 'toy' to play with. i can't tell you how many sick *** mad soccer mom's have run me off the turnpike doing 95 mph in the slow lane passing my *** doing 70. just what this world needs, more oversized vehicles. i think we'd all be just better off if everyone would just stop driving like stupid *****, getting nowhere as fast as ****** possible. arg.... pinned up mini-van rage, sorry guys.. heh .
peace

That is what I keep telling myself about my dad's suburban. Already moved out but it will be nice if we have to move again any time soon.

Oddysey yes...MPV - NO.

No room in the MPV. My parents have a 2001 LX model. No room in the rear bench. I'm 5'8" and I feel cramped. Chairs could've had deeper buckets. It's a 4cyl. model w/ 175 horses I think. Not bad in hte handling dept. though.

My mom has an 03 Honda Odyssey.. These new vans can smoke tires like hell.. I wish the Bimmer could do it.. oh well.. The Odyssey is one fine piece and feels so nice to ride in.. woo I haven't had the opportunity to check out the new Sienna's.
