I'd like to see a 4 cylinder Sienna hybrid. Great for the fam or for being a taxi cab.

Uh oh...I see the Toyota sombrero logo high on the grille like the current Camry and Venza.

With that grille looking like its from the Venza/Camry, I wouldn't doubt that the interior reflects the Venza's interior as well

toyota has always loved to put the shifter in the middle of the dash. there is basically where it is in the current sienna, so im pretty sure they will stick with that design element like the venza

Looks like a stretched Venza with a bit of Highlander.

Love the current Sienna - easily the best in it's class. The trash for VW and Chrysler is that...trash. Good to see Toyota is still going full force with their mini's!

Outside the Nissan Quest and Ford Flex, all vans look the same. I'm sure this will continue to be the "Lexus" of mini-vans.....

Thats really long.

Im no fan of JDM minivans, but some of the vans offer some awesome features that would be pretty cool if offered here.

The new 2.7 with a hybrid could offer performance of the 3.5 V6 while getting exceptional gas milage
