And you thought the Toyota sienna was cool…

Feast your eyes on the Toyota Sienta. Nope. Not a typo. 

Yep. She's a 7 seater with an anemic lil 1.5 mustering an incredible 72ps. The hybrid drive provides about 45kw. FF or awd can be had, but won't matter, as this dad jail won't be hustling cones anytime soon. The Sienta Can be had with vanilla colored interior plastics with chocolate seats. Yes, the Toyota Seinta, the slowest van ever.

I did? Are you sure?

In reply to Mr_Asa :

I was. Now dubious. 

Oh, and the color of Wrigley's spearmint gum is available. 

In reply to Mr_Asa :

The new ones are absolutely wonderful, seriously, 36mpg and rear seats that slide back 25" and have a lounger for your legs when you recline, retractable rear cabin shades. Decided for the single parent who wants to enjoy time when the kiddos aren't in the car as well. If she has a new Sienna, you'll never have to worry about if the kids are back at her place with a sitter. 

Seven seats in that?  It looks tiny.

Coincidentally, I just logged about 600 miles in a 2021 Toyota Sienna Hybrid.  Actually, it looks like all new Siennas are hybrids.  I can say that the Sienna is an absolutely amazing bus.  Up to 8 passengers and gets crazy gas mileage.  This one had 2400 miles on it, and I didn't bother to reset the tripmeter/mpg meter.  While I drove it, it went from upper 33 to over 34 mpg.  Simply amazing for a vehicle of that size, and I think if I'd reset the gauge, it would have been quite a bit higher.  

So yes, the Sienna is cool.  The Sienta?  I'd wait until it grows up. 

I never thought minivans were cool.

My '67 Land Rover 88" Station wagon had seats for 7. And 42 wheel hp on our dyno :)

Wonder if the interior smells like Grandma's purse?

Just go through a few packs of menthols with the windows up and you can guarantee it.

Much like the Sienna, the headroom appears adequate.  But I'd guess not all 7 passengers would be especially comfortable in the '67 Land Rover.

It just boggles my mind that Toyota would name a car that sounds exactly like the other car they make.

Everytime I see an old Land Rover I want one.

Given that the the Sienna (name after Italian town) and Sienta (means 7), are not sold in the same market - doubt it hardly matters the similarity in the names. 

In reply to 1988RedT2 :

Padded seats are for the weak! But on the highway*, the noise level is high enough that you'll never hear them complain. 

 

* aka 55 mph or so

If they're not being sold in the same markets at the same time... Does it really matter?

How many cars did they make simultaneously all named "crown" in different languages?

The Ford Fiestiva would like a word. Did the Festiva replace the Fiesta or was it the other way around? Or did it go back and forth?

In the US I'm pretty sure it was Fiesta replaced by Festiva which was again replaced buy the Fiesta.
