hey e-it looks nice. where's the inside pics?
I hope your wifey and kids are easier on cars than mine. my wife's minivan gets like a science project inside. I have to take a garbage bag and shovel and clear it out about once a month.
sometimes I have to track down an odor source. I have found aged pieces of fried chicken, rotten sippy cups of milk, donuts, candy,chips, a cup of honey mustard, even a half of a petrified salami sandwich.

That's nice.
However, I haven't seen a nicely modded sienna...not as sporty looking as the oddysey.
E-man, were not laughing at you, we're laughing with you
I see you have the limited edition-lots of goodies. Have you signed up with siennaclub.org?

Hah! We just did the same thing. Just bought my wife a 2007 Sienna. Limited in the Slate color. I'll have to post of pic of my garage, looks just like yours, Sienna on one side, GS430 on the other.
Can't beat Toyota, and Lexus doesn't make a people mover (unless you want to drive a beast of an SUV, which my wife doesn't.) A guy I work with said Lexus engineered the Sienna, decided not to put the Lexus badge on it afterall - never confirmed if that were true. I will say that hands down, if I rolled this off the Lexus lot with "L" on it instead of a "T", I would be satisfied that I got up-to-Lexus standards. That thing is TIGHT. Very well built, and the interior is as nice as my GS and nicer than her RX (only because it's a bit newer than her 04 RX, not because it's way nicer. However, the point remains.)
In my opinion, the REAL utility vehicle is the minivan. TONS of utility. Power sliding doors for my 4 and 2 year olds, they can close their own doors, navigation, entertainment system (played video games on our road trip), sonar parking assist, backup camera, WAY more cargo room than our suv's had (RX 330, and Honda Passport), and WAY more cargo and leg room in the back seats than my buddies brand new Tahoe.
Say what they will, once you are forced to get one, if you go all the way and get a top of the line Toyota, there's not another vehicle like it.
But I'll keep driving my GS (until I can afford an M5 or GS-F, anyway, which will be awhile)!
