"  The minivan market is a shadow of its former self. Many former owners have abandoned the trusty but frumpy minivan for hipper pastures--like three row crossovers. Manufacturers like GM and Ford have left the segment as a result. But Chrysler, Honda and Toyota, the leaders in the market, remain. Now, Toyota has launched an all-new Sienna at the LA Auto Show--a van they hope will deliver a little more fun, style and tech than the typical family hauler.  The all-new Sienna&amp;#039;s design is based on the F3R Concept from the 2006 Detroit Auto Show. The production Sienna may not be quite as radical as the concept, but you can see hints of the show car in this van. And the shape is impressively aerodynamic (for a van at least) with a Cd of 0.306. The third-generation Sienna comes in five trim levels, with either front or all-wheel drive and offers two engine choices. The standard 187 hp 2.7-liter four-cylinder and delivers 19 mpg city and 26 mpg on the highway. The optional 266 hp 3.5-liter V6 should hit 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. And V6 Siennas can tow 3500 pounds and both engines are paired to a six-speed automatic. The new Sienna rides on the same wheelbase as the previous van but wider and slightly shorter. And this is a minivan, so you have a choice of either seven or eight passenger seating. Of the five trim levels, it&amp;#039;s the SE and Limited grades that are the most compelling. The new SE sport model offers more aggressive bodywork, big 19-inch wheels and a lower, firmer suspension for improved handling. The Limited is a bit like the limo of the minivan world and there&amp;#039;s a long list of standard equipment including parking sonar, a dual moonroof and a new Lounge Seating for the second row seats. These reclining bucket seats have a fold-out ottoman and since we tried them recently, we can report--these thrones are supremely comfortable. Its interesting to note that some Sienna options are technology features that only a few short years ago would be options on a top Lexus sedan. The Sienna is available with HID lighting, a panoramic rear-view camera, a pre-collision warning system, dynamic radar cruise control and a new Dual View Entertainment System. This system uses two displays side-by-side to create a 16.4-inch widescreen image for rear seat passengers--and the screen can be split into two individual images too, so brother and sister can watch two different DVDs. Smart. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
