We rented one when my Sister and Niece were in town and we went to SF for the day. It was quite comfortable, plus the seats fold completely into the floor. Had impressive power for a V6 holding 6 people.

I have considered it, didn't test drive it though.
It definitely looks great on paper (and in reviews) so it's a pretty strong contender, but my biggest issue is with chrysler products plummeting in resale value like a rock. Not that I plan to replace a minivan soon, but having the option to do it without losing 60% of it's value in the 1st 5 years is important.
I was especially impressed with the fact that they use aluminum doors on those things. That's unheard of in an industry where they pinch pennies on literally every nut and bolt to lower the overhead/bottom line. Definitely a bold move
but the sienna's new "lexus" engine and transmission were also really great and the main reason I'm wanting a 17 and not previous years. 300hp, 8speed, decent mileage, good towing capacity. And xle trim is loaded with all sorts of features.
