A memory seat, bluetooth,power folding third row, turn signal LED, wow! I must say I would probably consider this over the new Mercedes R-Class or RX 330.

Yes and no .

Yes.........price-independent, the Sienna is probably the best minivan in production today, but dollar-for-dollar, the Kia Sedona is a better value. It offers quality almost as good as the Sienna, and a goodly amount of standard features, for a much lower price and a much longer warranty. The days of Hyundai and Kia building junk are gone.
I have seen new base-level Sedona LX's go out the door ( after discounts ) for HALF of what a upper-level Sienna costs. That's right. 50%. One of my colleagues at the office took one home for less than $19,000 bottom line ....I was there with him and helped him find it.. And all Sedonas come with V6, automatic, power package, Captain's chairs rear and / or front depending on model , and dual A/C.

umm, i think sienna is one of the best minivans out there, but i think it's a hard tie with the odyssey. for the same amount of money you get something on the odyssey that's not on the sienna (feature wise), so it's always a close race between them. and to be honest, if i were to go out and buy one today, it's going to be either sienna or odyssey, i won't shop anywhere else... imho, no need

Yes...for people who HAVE 35-40K to spend on a minivan, you can't beat a Sienna or Odyssey. ( though some Odysseys start out a little less ).
Those who DON'T would be wise to look at a Sedona.
