I wonder when SUVs will be uncool because only soccer moms drive them.  And wagons and minivans will be cool again

I think the Sienna in SE trim looks cool.

Agreed.  It's too bad the option packs are better on the Odyssey IMO.

Didn't Chili Palmer Make them cool?  http://www.metacafe.com/watch/mv-foLd/get_shorty_film_the_cadillac_of_minivans/

Agreed, but you can't get the lounge seating, or removable captain chairs in the SE, major deal breaker!

:iagree:

....but believe when you're dealing with premium customers, the fuel economy of a hybrid falls second to the cache of driving a "hybrid"
As for myself the savings have to make sense above the novelty of a hybrid.

Whereas the novelty of having a bunch of cars doesn't have to make financial sense? Just asking.
And some cretins think I hate cars.
