The all-new 2011 Toyota Sienna parked in front of Laura's house.
If you’ve ever seen Amy or I driving around town, you might have noticed that we have (almost) twin vehicles (unplanned, we swear). We’ve minivan moms — and PROUD of it. So when O’Brien Toyota approached us about a partnership, we didn’t hedge — even though both of us own and drive vans made by a rival company whose name rhymes with Rhonda.
Recently Amy and I each test drove a brand new 2011 Toyota Sienna passenger van for several days. I know what you’re thinking – you let your kids ride in a Toyota? We were skeptical too, until we heard the facts: the Sienna model was not involved in the recent highly-publicized safety recalls regarding sticking accelerator pedals in Toyota vehicle. Not that we’re car geeks, but we do know this: the 2011 Sienna is the first Toyota with new technology that disengages the throttle when the driver depresses the brake pedal.
When we went to visit O’Brien Auto Park of Urbana, we were struck by their commitment to customer service. Customers can stop by in the morning when they have free donuts in the waiting area – and coffee too. In addition to the flat-screen TVs, there is a clean playroom stocked with toys for the 7-and-under crowd. Oh, and did we mention the free wifi? (We’re all about the free wifi). When a customer suggested that they put a changing table in the men’s restroom, they didn’t hesitate to order one. And then there’s the free car washes — when customers buy or lease from O’Brien Auto Park of Urbana, they can get a free car wash anytime the car wash is open– for the life of the car.
Next week, we’ll let you know our thoughts about the 2011 Toyota Sienna – from moms who know their minivans.
But in the meantime, if you head out to O’Brien Toyota to test drive the new Sienna and mention that you saw it on chambanamoms.com, you will receive a free gift bag that includes a coupon for one complimentary car wash and an O’Brien Auto Park of Urbana travel mug (one per household, please).

The giveaway and the Car-Spa will be offered until April 30 and the winner will be notified May 1, 2010.

I’m one of those moms who can be brought to tears by the mere idea of driving a minivan. A station wagon is as close as I have been able to get. Reading this, I do wonder what effect a Sienna test drive may have on me.
