Toyota released pricing for the 2011 Toyota Sienna today, and a base 7-passenger minivan with the 187-horsepower 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine will cost you $25,060 ($800 destination charge included).
Though the base trim Sienna has all the safety and convenience items you absolutely need, you can also get a four-cylinder Sienna in LE trim in an eight-passenger configuration for $26,145.
The cheapest way to get the 266-hp 3.5-liter V6, though, is to buy it on a base-trim, 7-passenger Sienna for $26,300. The eight-passenger Sienna LE V6 takes you up to $29,700. If you want an LE with all-wheel drive, you lose that 8th seat and have to fork over an additional $2,230 ($31,930).
The sporty new Toyota Sienna SE (shown above) that we think offers the best ride/handling balance of the whole line comes only with the V6, only in front-wheel drive, and curiously, only with an 8-passenger seating arrangement. It's priced at $31,350.
Above that, there's the V6-only Sienna XLE, available in front-wheel drive with 8-passenger seating ($32,975) or AWD with 7 seats ($35,315). The top-of-the-line Limited seats, replete with lounge seating, keyless start, front and rear parking sonar, also has the V6 only and seats 7 only, but comes with front-drive ($39,300) or AWD ($40,570).
Production of the van starts in January, and the V6 models will show up at dealerships in February. You'll have to wait another couple months for the four-cylinder models.

Hmm.. only $1240 between V6 vs the I4???
I4's MPG 19/26 (Avg: 22.5)
V6's MPG 18/24 (Avg: 21)
Only 1 mpg diff. in the City? and only 2 on the hwy? Combined 1.5mpg.
Even at 20,000 miles a yr. and say $3 in gas.. That's only $190.48 per yr. difference.
That's only $15.87 / month in gas difference...
I'll take the V6 please...

Could the front end be any uglier?
They put a $12,000 Corolla front end on a $30,000+ Van!
