Why does Sienna lag behind the Odysey?
Seems every reviews I read recommends the Honda.
How can this be? Toyota does not improvise its van over the years?

Toyota hasn't redesigned it in ten years. Odyssey was done in 2018.

Euuhh, that's what makes a van a van. If you want clearance and awd, plenty of options out there. They're just called CUVs.95thRiflesOCI wrote: ↑ So many updates to the Odyssey yet it still hugs the ground and doesn't have an AWD option. Toyota keeps the same formula, Honda is still trying to find their's

The next Sienna will be out for the 2021 model year and most likely be revealed at the LA Auto Show later this year.

So you're saying that Honda improvises? Or that you want Toyota to improvise? Not sure what you're saying here but either way, improvising doesn't sound like something anyone wants to hear a car maker doing (whether or not they do it).

Except most of them died due to the rusting issue and oil bb urning issue in conjunction with the VCM.jackrabbit000 wrote: ↑ x2. The 3rd Generation 2005-2010 we're the best.

There's only 1 gen 1. It's the one that was the VIP special 4 swing out doors and the 4 Cylinder. It was indeed the best Generation.
At least with the VSC there's a tried and true way to prevent them from dying, every 40k KM you need to change the diff fluid and check the diff vent. Toyota's maint schedule is wrong dead wrong for the diff. IIRC for the Venza/Matrix or Rav4 they put Inspect the fluid every 40k or 60k. Never says Replace and even in the service documentation that dealers would have it does not have a replace recommendation. I understand the Parts may not be the same but the designs for the VSC are all similar they are all electromagnetic couplers and it's in use right now in the torque vectoring rear diff for the new Rav 4.cartfan123 wrote: ↑ Tell that Sienna reliability to my POS AWD 2011 Sienna with the rear vicious coupler (a known issue) failing at 100k (typical mileage failure). No coverage or goodwill by Toyota. Then failing o2 sensors at 8 years. Not to mention the cheap garbage plastic interior and the bulbous soft ride. I’ll take another gen 3 Odyssey (05-10) any day. I prefer the handling and solid feel to the Ody.
It’s like these companies know minivan buyers are captive to a small selection set and can just make trash. Pacifica? Please. Pricing on that is a joke.
These days I’d probably just as well keep cycling thru Dodge Caravans on CVP clear out sales and pitch them before 100k/5yrs. Brand loyalty is for suckers. Like being loyal to Bell or Rogers.

I take it you meant the American if you are referring to Odyssey. :-) Honda Odyssey is desgined and built in America, with parts sourced from America. Unlike other 'Built in America' Honda, such as Civic, Accord, etc, Odyssey exists only in North America (The JDM Odyssey is a completely different car). Other Honda's cars are developed mostly in Japan and build in America.
