2011 Toyota Sienna live in LA – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

Toyota<\/a> finally took the wraps off their new 2011 Sienna<\/a> minivan and we have to say, it looks pretty good in person. Although Toyota sent out some teaser shots this morning, we just got back from the official unveiling at the LA Auto Show<\/a> and have a whole batch of live shots and quite a few more media pics for you to browse. We were quite shocked by the size of the crowd at this press conference, perhaps showing that even though the minivan market may be shrinking, it still meets a sizable need.<\/p>\n

We were also a bit surprised to run into Ford’s J. Mays and Mark Fields, and they reminded us that you have to stay abreast of the competition lest you die. They would neither confirm nor deny the return of the Aerostar. Besides the top-level Limited model on stage, Toyota also showed off a pre-production SE, which sits a little lower on a stiffened suspension and 19-inch alloys. It also sports a body kit, a revised grille and carbon fiber in place of wood inside.<\/p>\n

Also make sure you check out the 2011 Sienna’s trick 16-inch LCD monitor<\/a> for rear seat passengers and the reclining seats with extendable footrests<\/a>, two features we’ve never seen in this segment before.<\/p>\n
