Stephen, Where 5,000 pounds of towing is not a requirement, the very fuel efficient Hybrid model will serve best and it still offers a 3,500 lbs tow rating. The big question is how will the Princeton, Indiana plant keep up with demand for the new Grand Highlander and Lexus TX when they are so far behind in meeting demand for the Sienna and Highlander? 🤔

This will definitely be insanely successful for Toyota and they know it so they offer the non-hybrid because the hybrid is such a bottleneck for production, evident by the fact that Siennas are so hard to get. Honestly Toyota should make a 2.4 Turbo Sienna to offer a minivan to everybody who wants one. That's got basically the same torque as the diesel Carnival in other markets but is a lot quicker.

10:02 "If you don't want Sienna" - In my area you _cannot_ get a Sienna. There is no allocation. You can maybe drive for an hour and see if you can order one and wait a year or two. Toyota's inability to get their sh#t together is disappointing. I've had many Toyotas in my life, drive one now, but that may change, not because of me.

speaking of minivan, the new generation sienna being hybrid only has a few cubic feet more cargo volume than the grand highlander. even though there is more adjustability and some more features in a sienna, the grand highlander is still a great alternative to a minivan, or even those that were disappointed in the lack of space for the sequoia in total cargo and those behind the second row

How much front legroom, head room, seat width, in the drivers seat? I’ve noticed Toyota is deliberately taking away legroom, headroom and seat width. This really pisses me off as a 6’6” 450lb guy. The media always measures the second row with the drivers seat at its max. For people who need the room in the drivers seat it’s really frustrating the second and third row get what the driver needs. Lexus is even worse than Toyota on legroom, headroom, and seat width. They make the drivers area a cocoon and it really diminishes the specs. I guess big guys can’t have the luxury versions.

@@SME5724 Their official quarterly reports are public, so everyone has access to their decline. Their Q1 report for 2023 put Volkswagen ahead in global annual revenue. The only contradictions are the people that report incorrect or misleading figures. Toyota's first quarterly report for 2023 revealed a global sales decline of nearly 10%, which is only growing. Volkswagen was always close in annual global revenue, so Toyota's 8.8% drop is all VW needed to now be the highest global earner. Keep in mind that most KZitemrs reporting on this are incorrectly calculating by car sales numbers. The reports are revenue based. So in theory, Toyota could still have sold a few more vehicles, but Volkswagen's car sales currently have generated the highest global revenue, as of Q1 2023, making them the current global top seller.
