My god, it's hideous. They actually call it less jellybean-like? The Odyssey has nothing to fear.

What is it attacking them with, sticks and stones?!?!?

I think it looks OK - the roofline is handsome, actually. The front end leaves something to be desired, though.

It looks too much like that ugly Matrix. The only way Toyota could have made it look worse would be to have tacked the front end of the Camry or the Carolla onto it. (Already looks like they just used the Prius front clip.)

With the notable exception of the MR2 Spyder, Toyota has not been getting it done stylistically in the past few years. It surprises me actually since the mid-90's Camry and the previous generation Carolla were both very handsome designs.

It ain't pretty, that's for sure. But not that I care, minivans = THE SUCK!

If anything, it looks like the new Nissan van to me.

Too bad no toilet and bed. That would be cool.

Plenty of soccer moms will be lining up to buy the new Sienna.

 

[KokomoGST]

Why is there a sudden trend toward those same overly sharpened Peugeot-look headlights?
Blargh...

You'd need a VW Microbus for that. 😉

yeah really

Not especially attractive.. I think that's Toyota's motto lately.. making the ugliest cars possible.. the MPV looks WAY better.

It doesn't look bad from behind. And the interior is nice too.

have fun catching up to Honda...and man, that thing is ugly

 

[nord1899]

Minivans are the most practical family haulers around. Trouble is, practical isn?t prestigious. Practical isn?t sexy. More people opt for SUVs because minivans aren?t considered cool enough.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Wholly crap...an old loaded Sienna runs almost $40K :Q Daymn

 

[Doggiedog]

Looks like a Limo version of a Prius. The Odyssey still looks much better.

We looked hard at all the mini-vans last summer. Honda and Toyota make some nice vans but $$$$$. We decided we really like the Dodge, it seems that you get more bang for your buck with Dodge Caravan or Chrysler town & Country.

I've heard that the Chrysler/Dodge minivans have transmission problems out the ying yang as well as little electrical gremlins.

 

[OutHouse]

I heard that too, thats why we held off in getting the van.
