I just had the same conversation with my husband! Our 2001 Toyota Sienna is nearing 90,000 miles and "needs" a timing belt among other things. I'd love to move out of mini-van and into something more hip and SUV-ish, but I cannot deny the advantages of having a van with a wayback and all that great storage room in the back. Not only that, but my Toyota made it up Rose Tree Road this morning in the snow when many other cars and vans could not! YES! Wow….is my house bugged?

Loved the commercial, hate the price!! Ummm, that timing belt discussion sounds VERY familiar, I guess apples don’t fall far from the trees! Loved the commercial, hate the price!!

Maybe rear seat warmers are too close to the gas tank? I'm thinking Pinto here....

I wouldn't mind a fireplace in the car. Rear seat warmers seem like a no-brainer. The fact that we don't have that now is yet another reason for Maya to feel that life is completely unfair!

Something we learned when we bought it at the end of the year - buy a car at the very end of the year as car companies are practically giving away the previous year's models that are still sitting on the lot.
