2011 Toyota Sienna

The minivan segment has slumped in recent years. General Motors and Ford left the segment several years ago giving the Japanese and Koreans a bigger piece of a shrinking pie.

But perhaps an upturn in people movers is in sight. At least the Japanese big three are counting on it. Toyota, Honda and Nissan have new vehicles for the 2011 model year.

Toyota introduced its 2011 Sienna this winter. Honda has a new Odyssey on the way this fall, and Nissan will not be far behind with a new Quest.

Chrysler continues to make improvements in its two minivans, the Town and Country and Caravan, and the Chrysler and Dodge remain the best sellers in America.
