I can't put the pictures on here, but these seem pretty authentic to me.

It looks noticable larger. The taillights remind me of the Odyssey, the doors remind of the MPV. The interior looks like it will seat 8 passengers (unless the back rows only for two?). The front is definately different for the current minivan market, but nothing daring. Toyota's really liking that stretched back headlight look.

 

Pictures:










Oh my, where did they get the ideal of the folddown "magic seat" from?

Looks bigger, but not as big as the Odyssey or Grand Caravan. Back end looks like something between a Chrysler and Honda mix. Interior looks like it shares a lot with the Highlander. Makes sense since both are shared on the same Camry platform. Third row seat looks like it has very tiny legroom. The front end is pretty darn ugly. Headlights and that horizontal grill reminds me of this:

 

looks ok.... my mom has a 99 Sienna, and its pretty nice, just smaller than the rest. It does look like a Honda/Mazda/Toyota mobile. Yes, the pics look real... it has to be the new Sienna... any word yet on the powertrain?? Its suppose to be the new 3.3L V6 so....?? because that should give some insight on the future HP for the V6 camry etc.....

but, it doesnt look anything like i expected. The back legroom shouldnt be that bad, considering the seats should slide, like the previous generation(00-02) rear seats, the 98-99's didnt slide.

 

The third row seats won't slide. There's nothing mechanical underneath the seat cushion to make it move. Legroom's going to be tight back there. Plus the third row looks fairly narrow.

 

Wow, any closer to the Odyssey and Honda would have sued. Toyota is beginning to piss me off in their lack of creativity.

 

that front looks strikingly close to where mitsu is goin with thier styling..

 

Styilng...meh.

Roll down windows a la Mazda MPV and 3-way split bench from first gen GM dust buster lookin minivans, interesting.

Screw it, I'll take a Town & Country.

 

It does nothing for me...

I'll take the Odyssey or T&C...if I had too!

 

I never said the Sienna's rear was ugly. Three of us see it already, so there's gotta be something there. I'm just telling you, the protruding bumper, the taillights styling (all red and stretches to middle), the rear window with the small angled notches on on each of the lower ends, and the spoiler (even if its not painted) makes us see some resemblance. Resemblance does not mean it looks exactly alike, just see some similarities that reminds you of another.

There's really nothing special in the new Sienna's style. It looks like a mix-match of Suzuki Aerio (front end), Mazda MPV (rear doors), Chrysler (hidden slit under the rear windows for the door rollers), and Honda (rear end).

 

I can't believe you guys are arguing about car copying another car's exterior look. There's only so many places you can put a light in certain position and stretch it a certain way. This goes for all other parts of the cars as well. No car exterior is original if you come down to the basic. you start w/ wheels, chasis, lights, and doors. you stretch a little here and squeeze a little there. Maybe they can try to be a little more different w/ a sport car but w/ a van, truck, or suv, there's not much variation you can do it w/ it.

For this argument, I think they just took the old Sienna and stretch the rear lights and make it bigger. You can say that the Odyssey did that too. Those who were making an argument that the side glass is straight like the Odyssey, then I can say the straight and pointy at the bottom rear while the Odyssey is not, so they are different. My point is that for a minivan, they can't make it too different looking or else it probably won't sell very well. They all copy off each other and make their own variation.
