So my Aunt just bought a 2008 Sienna XLE and I had to borrow it today to move a piece of furniture. Ummmm...this thing is extremely fast for a minivan. I knew it got the 3.5L V6 for the '08 model year but this thing will pick up and go like no other minivan I know of. I went to merge onto the highway and it simply took off like a rocket and went up to 100MPH without a sweat.

So...maybe I'll take it out on a Friday night and go hunting for civics on Barett Parkway (for those of you who are familiar)

EDIT: I'm not kidding. This is BALLIN for a minivan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gadUoJnEzfs&NR=1

 

Gee it out accelerates my measly 160 HP MPV so easily. Maybe it's time to upgrade. The Sienna though is my current favorite minivan.

 

Think about it, it got 268 HP!!!
Go hunting go hunting!!

 

It is the fastest van in its class....take the seats out....maybe get base model Sienna with the V-6.....

 

ok i have a 2004 Sienna with the 3.3 v6. its the same engine in my RX330 and i swear the Sienna feels a lot quicker.

i got the LE model, and let me just say, 220 horses for a practically empty minivan is enough. the car just goes when its just me, and i think its because its so light compared to my awd RX.

be careful about torque steer! its a real killer in this car.

 

love the blinking traction control light. but holy crap that thing hauls ***.

 

that is pretty darn fast!!!

 

The new-generation Toyota 3.5L is a real gem. Best-in-class in both power and efficiency. EVERY vehicle equipped with the 3.5L, with and without direction injection, is the fastest AND most fuel economical in its respective class. I foresee the 2GR-FSE to stay on Ward's 10Best list for a long long time to come.

 

definitely agree with the new Sienna...

it'll even pull cleanly with 8 passengers!!

 

LOL @ people on youtube who claim the Chrysler T&C is better

 

"then marry the sienna my neghebaor has a sienna and she hates it seh wants to get a dodge or town & countrey"

^lmao. then marry the sienna....takes me back to like 1st grade.

 

what are you talking about, i still say it at work

 

Did anyone watch the Town and Country video?

Is it me or are those gears really short up to 60mph and then kinda long past that?

 

Wow.. that's just aobut 9 seconds. (I think it's 8.8 according to the ads).

Not bad. I wonder what happens if you have the AWD versions .

 

love the sienna...

HATE THE MPG!

this tank sips gas like a BOBA straw.
