I'm guessing this indicates that the new Sienna will come as early as January. |
Interesting... So the 2010 Sienna is coming in early 2009? That could mean that the new generation is coming in January/February 2009, but I think that it means that the following:
- The 2009 model year is short (July 2008 to January 2009)
- The 2010 model year comes early (January/February 2009) and runs a full year, to early 2010.
- The Gen3 Sienna will be introduced in early 2010 as a 2011 model.
Toyota has been doing a lot of this early model year introductions recently: 2006 Avalon in early 2005; 2007 Camry in early 2006; 2009 Corolla in early 2008.
I base this speculation upon the fact that we have not heard more rumours about the next-generation model, and have not seen more test models of the Gen3 Sienna, including highly camouflaged models. Even Toyota cannot be that good at hiding prototypes of new models.
