Congrats!

No complaints and the family loves it.
We sold my wife's Acura TL it wasn't practical with a baby those back seat are small and not to mention it uses premium gas.
The new Sienna is definitely roomier then the older models rides nicer too. Had 7 passengers and the 266hp had no problems.

How do you like it so far?

Holy gigantic images! Nice ride. I see you have the 8-seater version. I was wondering for a second why your second row seats didn't have that seatbelt thing by the headrest. Hehe. I wish mind didn't, too, so I can add a 3rd and 4th LCD. Unfortunately, that's the trade off for getting an AWD.

How did you remove the XLE logo? Just a 3M tape logo?

I know the question wasn't directed to me, but I've debadged a car before. There's a Goo Gone solution made specifically for cars. You let it drip on the badge and wait a minute to let it soak in. Then you take a thin fishing line (say a 4-pound) and slowly slice through it. There are YouTube vids on it, I'm sure.

They usually are just super-strength heavy duty 3M double-sided tape.

It was pretty easy I just used my fingers and came right off and it didn't leave any adhesive behind. But be careful not to bend it to much since the XLE is only together at a few points
(if you want to use it again). If you do get any dirt or sticky stuff just wax it off.

Keeps people guessing and have to look at other features to determine what model you have.

Looks like you have some kind of DVD system behind the seat, can you share more on that?

jscholl411 · 05-03-2011, 12:40 PM

Actually working on getting the check today and picking it up at 4 tonight

yeah, Its just dual 9" Philips portable DVD player I got at Target a year ago. I need to find longer cables for it so I can hide the wiring better.

I think those are the exact same ones I used to have ($180, now $150?). I tried longer cables but it still looked messy.
