For decades, Toyota has been a brand name that assures quality, longevity, and excellent value both during purchase and when it comes to resale value after some time. This year Toyota Motors forges ahead with their mission to manufacture the best minivan, with its Sienna nameplate. The Toyota Sienna has always been a favorite amongst the overcrowded minivan segment. The 2008 Toyota Sienna minivan comes in four trim levels -- CE, LE, XLE and XLE Limited. It comes in seven- and eight-passenger configurations while the upper trims are seven-passenger only. Changes to the 2008 Toyota Sienna that represents the second-generation production line are very few. The interior cabin is done in lovely stone or fawn color. The inside cabins of all the nine models are generously upgraded with amenities like, new cloth interior, optional adjustable heated seats, available side-impact air bags and a sliding third-row seat. To make you stay young at heart, the interior cabin of the Sienna models is highlighted with many latest technologies and equipments.
Seating
Toyota Sienna is one of the few minivans that comes with a choice of seven or eight-passenger seating capacity. The roomy interior cabin of the 2008 Toyota Sienna Van is designed to comfortably accommodate seven to eight passengers at a time, depending upon the model. It has two distinctly different second-row seating options. This seat is easy to adjust, tumble or remove. All the seven-passenger models have second-row captains chairs with a passenger-side chair that can be repositioned side-to-side, offering either a bench or a bucket arrangement. In the CE and LE trims, there is this second-row, three-way split/folding bench with a Front and Center middle seat that can be moved closer to the front seats.
Comfort and convenience features
The manufacturer has taken care of everything from style to comfort in its current 2008 Toyota Sienna line-up. Optimization of intelligent space configuration can be noticed on the current models. Exceptional passenger and cargo room are there in every model. The interior cabin is highlighted with a wide range of standard comfort and convenience related amenities, such as: aerodynamic multi-reflector headlamps with auto-off feature, steering wheel mounted audio controls, folding tray table between front seats, removable center console with storage, five assist grips and four coat hooks and many more amenities.

Sienna offers optimum interior capaciousness and most importantly that too in a compact, easy-to- maneuver package. The refined interior cabin is accentuated with removable modular seating arrangement that allows for custom configurations to accommodate a variety of cargo shapes. For keeping bulkier cargoes, the second-row bench seat or captain's chairs and third-row seats can be removed easily. Inside the cabin, there are many compact places to puts smaller things. There is even a specific place to keep your phones.
