So why is everyone waiting for the 2011 models of the Sienna? Is it finally going to be hybrid? What about the Ody?

Just curious!

Yup, redesigned. Odyssey and I think the Quest (some other minivan anyways) is getting an update in 2011 too, but the Sienna is coming out first by far (any day now actually).

We're limited to Toyota since two of my brother-in-laws are Toyota mechanics. One is still mad I bought a Honda truck so only the other one (who's actually a Honda fan) will help us do maintenance on it. However, the Toyota fan also happens to be the shop foreman of the biggest Toyota dealer in Northern California so in addition to being able to handle any mechanical problem, he also knows the owner and can get us the car at true dealer cost.

Wow! Good people to know...

I noticed a LOT of websites were pretty skimpy on the 2011 Sienna info. Even normally good car websites. Car & Driver seemed to be the only thorough one for some strange reason. So, if you're interested, here are some C&D links:
