Default 2007 Sienna: 266 hp 3.5L GR V6

Looks like the Sienna finally got the 3.5L GR V6 engine.

So in the U.S., (excepting the IS250) the transition to universal use of the 3.5L GR engine in all V6 car-based Toyota/Lexus vehicles is almost complete.

The Highlander is the lone holdout, and it will most definitely get the 3.5L GR engine as a new 2008 model.

Sorry if this is a repost.

Ah, you're right. I thought I read that it was being discontinued after 2007. Is that true?

No confirmation yet.

Since they just refurbished the Solara, I see that it will stick around for at least through MY2008. What happens to it afterwards is still up in the air, but in all honesty, there is no competition to a mid-size coupe under $30k other than the Accord and G6 coupes. Most other coupes are compact designed...

Also, correct would be to say that transition to GR engine series is almost done... Since there are 3 different 3.5L GR engines alone....

That's assuming they'll put the 6-spd in. I think it's stuck with the reliable 5-spd for now.
