2011 Toyota Sienna

Toyota Sienna takes on a new sheet metal design

Toyota is hard at work on the next-generation Sienna minivan. While most of the sheet metal is from the current Sienna body, it has been heavily modified around the hood, front fender and the entire rear quarter panel. There is good reason for all this hacking; a new chassis is underneath. For the 2011 model year, the Sienna will join the Camry, Prius, RAV4, Venza and Highlander on Toyota’s ultra-flexible “MC” platform. While the final styling remains a mystery, some cues from the 2006 Toyota F3R concept may make it into production. Production of the 2011 Sienna will start in January at the Princeton, Ind., plant.
