The all-new 2004 Toyota Sienna is substantially larger, wider, taller than the previous-generation model. Its wheelbase is 5 inches longer and the track is 4 inches wider than last year's model. Stretching 200 inches over a 119-inch wheelbase, the new Sienna is the same size as the biggest minivans on the market: the Honda Odyssey, Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country, Ford Windstar, and the long-wheelbase versions of the Chevrolet Venture and Pontiac Montana.
Everything on the Sienna is big and bold: Big headlamps and big taillamps light up the night and give the Sienna presence in the dark. Black pillars, instead of body-colored pillars, make the new Sienna look even larger than its considerable dimensions. A big windshield, big wipers, and wiper-mounted washer nozzles designed for snow belt improve driver visibility.
The Sienna presents a sleek appearance by minivan standards, enhanced by its steeply raked windshield and the black pillars. The slot for the sliding doors is cleverly hidden, offering a cleaner look. Though you shouldn't expect ogling at the car wash, the new Sienna is an attractive vehicle. Next Page
