They're way outdated...fine but wouldn't be my choice.

why would she not consider a pacifica?

Are we moving to vans now?
OP... did you look at nissan rogue? CRV is a good choice but I don't like Honda's engines.

She would, but she doesn't like the gas Pacifica (they rented one for a week, and I agree the Odyssey drives nicer) and doesn't want to pay for the hybrid.

I suggested the Carnival which they are going to look into.



The point of the comment was to highlight that I shared his experience having issues with there being any Toyotas on the ground to even test drive. Dumb move on Toyota's part IMO.

I’m visiting New York and I see Sienna Ubers everywhere!! Almost every taxi is a RAV4 hybrid. Also got the chance to ride in the backseat of a Model Y. While riding in the hybrid Sienna is where I actually paid attention to the 4 cylinder engine and the drivers were flooring it weaving thru traffic. Each time the radio was completely off so I was able to notice it. When moving along in slow moving traffic, it ran off EV mode. One driver had his energy meter on the radio screen so I could see whenever we were in EV mode or hybrid mode. Sienna is spacious but to get back on topic, I would take a look at a RAV4 hybrid XLE trim if it’s in the budget. Solid, reliable, efficient, low maintenance vehicle.

Over budget by a fair amount and probably couldn’t get one anyway.

So what's the update? Were you able to get the numbers on the Tuscon to work?

The 2025 Tucsons are starting to arrive at dealers now and the one dealer I have a tentative deal with has to get the color combo I want from another dealer that just received it this week. I was hoping they would have it today but it is looking like it will be there tomorrow but I am going to be in NJ tomorrow so I can't get it and it will have to wait until Wednesday.

Let's hope this dealer doesn't play any games.

Good luck!
