Will Lexus ever make a MINIVAN?
I wish I can see some pics of the interior to see how luxurious it is though.

I own a 04 Sienna. it's an AWD XLE with nav + TV-DVD. The only one more loaded is the AWD Limited Nav + DVD. I believe that will go for over $40K.
I don't think there's much more perfume Lexus could put on the pig. Fully loaded (limited) have HIDs, Laser Cruise, sunroof, power doors x3 leather etc...
The only thing it could use is real wood (not fake plastic) better leather, better stereo, better carpet etc..
Well the AWD you have to get run-flat tires. These take a lot of the quiet and composure out of the car. I'll see what happens when I put regular tires on it, maybe it will be a bit better.
I used to own a 00 Odyssey and I think the driving dynanmic the Honda was better, the seating/features/function the Toyota is better. I've read the new Odyssey is better than the Sienna in some areas.
For the use my van gets I don't think I want something more expensive for soda spills and 15-hr trips to FL. It's just more of an appliance. There is no excitement in a Mini.

They should just make a Sienna Platinum or something of the sorts with full leather dashboard, alcantara headliner, real wood/aluminium trim, etc. I bet it would actually do very well with upper class people with families and it's a niche that has nobody in it.

I always tell my wife that our 2013 Sienna limited is basically a Lexus in casual clothes. It has every single modern feature, plus many that you cant get in an SUV.
