I wish Toyota would make enough Siennas to satisfy demand. Instead, there's are long wait lists at dealers.

I wish they just sold Siennas in Europe…

We don't even get Camry in Italy, it's just Yaris, Corolla, Aygo and suvs

There is only one factory, and it also makes the Highlander, Grand Highlander, and Lexus TX. The Sienna would need to become a lot more profitable for Toyota to reduce production of the other 3 to make room for more Siennas.

They could raise the price if they wanted it to be more profitable! Dealers already exploit the long wait list to do so in a way that doesn’t pass through to Toyota.

I’m in a large metro area; when I go to the Toyota website and look at inventory within 20 miles, I see 1 Sienna that is not in transit and not sale pending. That’s across 9 dealerships! By contrast, for the new Land Cruiser I am seeing 31 vehicles that are not in transit and not sale pending. On dealer lots. Most of them have $3k+ discounts listed! 12 Corolla hybrids; 24 Camrys. 87 Tacomas!!!

I have no idea what Toyota’s strategy with the Sienna is.

Yeah, I see four. Mostly $6k over MSRP.
