Hopefully the new Sienna makes me want to sell my '08 Odyssey. After all, I am a Toyota guy at heart... but I just like the way the Ody looked, and it has more aftermarket support (yes, my Ody is lowered and has 20" wheels)

High hopes that the new Sienna doesn't look like an SUV.

No need to wait for submitted pics. Autoblog will likely have them up first and fastest. Just check their site periodically.

I'm secretly running our 94 Caravan to the ground so my dad will upgrade. He said the next car will be the minivan since the AC and Heat and Cruise and Radio and cassette and speakers are dead

I hope it looks more like the current Previa which isn't sold in North America.

Oh I see. In any case though, hmm.........

I know looks and design are subjective (vary from person to person) but IMHO, this is one of the better of Toyota vehicle designs. Hehe, at a time where I found Corolla, Innova and Yaris to be of boring and tasteless designs, I found salvation in this car.

Since December 2005 (when it was given a sneak-preview in Taiwan), then launching in Japan, then Taiwan and in the Philippines (four months after), I was filled with excitement. Heck, during the Motor Show in 2006, I just stayed in the Toyota stand for more than an hour near the Previa taking pictures, staying in the car, spamming the power tailgate button (it was a first in any automobile in the Philippines) as well as the power sliding doors and other stuff. Heck, I even bowed down and worshipped the car (like what Muslims do when praying in their mosques) :lol:

It was really crazy and there were some people who saw me that way but personally, all I can say is if there is a Toyota vehicle that you would ever dream to have (for at least once in your lifetime), it would be the PREVIA....

It is my favorite Toyota vehicle of all time and is one of my favorite vehicles. I absolutely love it to the point that I feel that God has granted me the ultimate automobile for me to admire.

Indeed, it is one awesome vehicle. Heck, during the test drive session with my Papa, it really felt that it was the best moment I've ever spent in automobile. Unfortunately, it's sad that we couldn't afford this vehicle (due to developing country; poverty, cost of living, etc)....but nevertheless, to see this vehicle is already a blessing for me IMHO.

Thankfully, this car is the best-selling minivan/MPV in its class (the Kia Carnival/Sedona diesel model does not stand a chance against it :lol and just seeing it on the road is already happiness for me.

So yup, to the cut the long story short, I do admire this vehicle so much (and I don't think I've shown this much admiration for a Toyota vehicle before in my life). It is indeed without a doubt MY FAVORITE TOYOTA VEHICLE.

The end
