You are spewing crap. Get Consumer Reports "New Car Buying Kit' and see for
yourself.

MSRP $26,265
Invoice 24,370
Dealer Cost $23,659
- Dealer holdback 711
Adjusted Dealer Cost 22,948



There is no such thing as a fixed dealer cost due to incentives. Also
the price shown is for the base EX. We have the fully loaded version
with power package, RSE DVD Infinity stereo 7.1 system, luxury package
with leather and so on.

We paid below invoice of course!

CR has not done a full roadtest. In that issue they only have a capsule
review. You will note the links I provided that shows the Sedona
meeting to beating the Toyota and Honda's and being the best in crash
tests, handling, power....and so on.

The best minivan is the Toyota Sienna AWD, Scotty. Second best is a
tossup between the Honda and Sedona. The Honda has many many reported
problems. We'll have to see how the Sedona does. We brought the new car
back to Kia service today to have the remote starter and GPS NAV added
(Both thrown in with the deal). While we were there they double checked
everything and didn't like how one of the folding seats was working, so
they adjusted that as well. Everything took about 90 minutes, which is
about the shortest time I ever waited for auto service. We're pretty
impressed.

As for the hybrid idea...we still want to get one, but will wait to see
if more AWD based versions arrive soon.

Once again you've believed what you *want* to believe, not what may or may
not be fact. One or two published sources don't constitute the gospel about
anything. Hell, the Sedona may be the best damn vehicle on the face of the
Earth, according to a given publication, but that doesn't make it so.

Did you drive the Toyota and the Honda before you bought the Kia? Of course
not. The Kia is cheaper and since you were able to find some published data
that supports what you want to believe, that was sufficient.

The Toyota Highlander 4wd is the best hybrid available today. Too expensive
for ya?

One or two? Max, I thought you were into cars? All sources cite the
Sienna AWD as king of the minivans. The Honda also has the # 1 or 2
spot depending on your needs. Until the Sedona was released nothing
else was even close. EVERY review now lists the Sedona as a top pick as
well....but not ANY others. Please go look at a Nissan Quest and get
back to me!

Of course
not.

I drove a Sienna for 2 months last year. It was the FWD version and
it's the best minivan made, period. As for the Honda, we test drove it
last week. The reason we didn't buy the Honda is a HUGE number of
problems reported. Read the forums.

The Toyota Highlander 4wd is the best hybrid available today.

We have the van because it's a true seven seater. Please try the back
seats on the Highlander and get back to me!

Too expensive

Yeah, that must be it! I knew I shouldn't have paid cash for the boat.

It seems to me, I remember both CR & Motor tend giving good reports over
the years to Edsels, Henry J's, Hudson Hornets, AM Motors, Studerbakers.
Where are they now? Ah Yes I forgot to mention the wonderful De Soto!
