May be some 19's with big lips after this set of tires wear out

Okay............................................................. so when are we going to put them 20 inchers on that Thang

No but I really did see a sienna with some nice silver 20"s and it looked really nice. I like those vans because they don't look so soccer momish, with rims looks like an SUV.

My wife and I were going to get a new Sienna, but the black leather interior on the Odyssey Touring won us over.

Honda and Toyota still shame the domestics in the minivan department. Wasn't it Chrysler that invented/popularized the minvan? Sad.

Unless you drove for a bit to use a quarter of a tank, seems like around 100 miles though.

Were you out cruising some road back and forth with your kids showing off your new toy prior to posting?
A full tank at delivery is a common dealer courtesy but not all dealerships continued the practice after gas went up to $3.50 a gallon last August after the hurricanes. I do agree, though, that now that it is back down to $2.30 or so they should start it up again.

Congrats on the purchase Jacob. Siennas are one of the best, most reliable minivans out there, and by golly, it's a Toyota! My mom used to have an '01, but sold that a while ago and now has an '05 XLE Limited (Phantom Gray Pearl and taupe combo). I believe we got that for around $32K out the door. It's pretty much got all the features you have on your '06 except DVD and navigation. The HID lights are hot

The 05s can be had for a deal now but with the 06 being the refresh year, there were too many pluses to get an 05 (unless you don't care about them ).

Hehe actually my mom doesn't care so much about navigation and DVD, so this is perfect for her and a really good upgrade from the '01 Sienna. So the '06 is out of the question, although it does look equally nice

Anyway back to Jacob's Sienna..
