Default 2006 Sienna Information

Wow....I must say with all the new features the Sienna is adding it is truely a Lexus of the minivan world. Also it getting the 5th generation navigation I believe which the IS 250/350 models are also getting. Not even the other Lexus models has it. A memory seat, bluetooth,power folding third row, turn signal LED, wow! I must say I would probably consider this over the new Mercedes R-Class or RX 330.

Yes, the Sienna is is an excellent vehicle, but it is expensive by minivan standards. The new Kia Sedona is a better value, though, dollar-for-dollar...check it out a couple of threads down in CAR CHAT.

That is a very nice van I've been in one, its truely a Lexus at heart. With its price it should be. I hoppe they do something about the running boards they stick out like wings on the sides, look quite wierd.

holy smoke, this is amazing!!!!! they fixed the stuff that i didn't like about the 05!!! finally there is memory seat, and on the 05, i think the 3rd row folding is kinda hard (harder than the odyssey), but this one is even powered, damn! i wonder if it's relatively fast though, it would be not as good if it folds slow

and man, all the new gadgets! thank god i didn't get the 05!

Thought you already dropped the minivan idea altogether. Any good news coming?

Going a little off topic here for a second, but the new Avalon is VERY Lexus-esque as well. There's a thread somewhere around here talking about how Japanese vehicles are becoming more and more stylish.

I LOVED our gen 1 Sienna, we kept it for the longest time, loved the Captain's Chairs leather seats, the cupholders and storage spaces galore...the sliding doors on both sides. The gen 2 Sienna, not as much, but this latest pic looks great.

Bluetooth/Voice Nav comes to the 06 4Runner this year. The Prius and LCruiser already have it.

Not for the Sienna, yet...Sorry.
