The rear wiper is a pretty neat touch. Let's hope this is a sign of cool, creative & fun things to come from Toyota cars.
Hehe, don't forget about the Land Cruiser

thats something that really annoys me about EPA MPG numbers, there is so little difference between 4cly and V6 in most cases. This is not the real life example.

removable middle seat in 2nd row
I see the pics in this thread that the middle seat in the 2nd row is removable and can be stored in the last roll. Is this a new feature? Does current 8 passenger Sienna 2010 have this feature? I see in the brochure that the middle seat int he 2nd roll is "front and center" but is it removable?

Yeah but what makes it so much more interesting or exciting than any other van? It's not like it's more visually appealing or exciting than a Honda Odyssey or even the old Sienna. They're ALL boring.
The minivans across the pond have some actual visual appeal. The concept car upon which this Sienna was based had some visual appeal, with an interesting wrap-around glass greenhouse and squat proportions. This Sienna is just boring... why are we giving it any more praise than any other minivan?

I sat in the new Sienna yesterday at the show and it is quite an improvement from the past. The SE model Sienna is definitely appealing to me in my opinion. So far the majority here has pretty positive things to say. I am curious to test drive it to see how well it handles.

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean everyone is not supposed to like it.

I actually don't like the mesh front grille. Somehow I feel like I'm looking at a Matrix. The standard grille looks better to me.
Still, it's a family pod and I'm just not into these things. Venza is still the most appealing Toyota to me by a landslide.

Okay, the sports looks a little less minivan'ish... but aren't "sport" and "minivan" mutual exclusive words and really an oxymoron to say "minivan sport" ??? 
Like the older Caravans that came in bright red... okay, and what is that suppose to do?
All this said, I like it. Although that 2nd row recliner is only useful when you have no 3rd row passengers. So, you can feel like you're in an LS460L executive, but really you're in a giant bread box.
