Default Check out what I got todat!

Just brought this baby back home today. It's a 06 Sienna Limited with everything, Nav, DVD, Laser cruise, even has the 3rd power folding seat. I've waited for 8 weeks for this special order

I'm happy now.

Nice one Jacob, the 06 Limited sienna is more luxurious then the 05 Honda odyssey touring package. Yes i had the 05 odyssey for 4 months, and got rid of it quick, had to many problems. Anyhow i hate minivans i only bought it cause the wife like it.

Nice car and it has alot of features and a nice ride too.













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.

For all intents and purposes that IS a Lex. They don't call it the Lexus of minivans for nothing.

Congragulations...a beautiful vehicle...and a nice interior.

If you don't know the break-in rules, or if the dealership did not go over them with you, PM me and I will.
And I recommend SCRATCH-OUT to keep that nice new white pearl paint looking that way. $3-5 a bottle at drug stroes and auto parts shops that carry it.

Where in Austin do you live? It's a nice city...right on the borderline ( the Balcones Escarpment ) between the picturesque Texas Hill Country and the flat Gulf Coastal Plain. At one time I lived there and went to A.N. McCallum High School off Burnet Road not far from the old Robert Mueller Airport.

wonder why on the sienna, toyota doesnt offer black as a exterior choice, thats weird to me, i see chrysler, dodge, kia, and honda offer black but i guess toyota doesnt want it, wonder why.

nice sienna by the way, i was at the toyota dealership a few days ago and was in one like yours, white, navi, dvd player, everything in it, pretty nice van for 43 thousand. lexus did a great job with it. opps i mean toyota

Maybe because it would throw too much of a load on the air-conditioning. Black absorbs sunlight and heat like no tomorrow, and minivans, even with dual front / rear A/C, can be hard to cool because of their large interiors.

that's very nice jacob, the 06 sienna is ridiculously luxurious man, so many new features that they completely blow the 04 and 05 away

I rented and drove the new Sienna from LA to San Francisco for a weekend earlier this year. I fell in love with it immediately!

I would have to say that although I prefer small compact performance vehicles, I would choose the Sienna if I had kids/passengers to tow. I loved the Sienna more than the LX (which I drove from LA to Las Vegas) and the Avalon (which I drove from LA to Tijuana). For me, the Sienna provided a lot of space with comfort and practicality and gas efficiency.

Congrats on the purchase! You chose the right kiddie mobile.
