I work for a large Toyota dealer in Florida. We have corporate trainers that come into the dealership to assist us with certification, product info and often they listen to what we have to say can be improved.
I have mentioned several times about many of the changes to the 2011 Sienna that irked a lot of parents and CPST's on this board, mainly the latch/top tether/8th seat issues.....never really got any feedback.
WELL....today our trainer (a super nice gal named Dawn) was in the store and we started to talk about the Sienna again, and we got into the discussion about how the Odyssey is going to have more latch & tethers and that their 8th seat can actually be used etc etc etc. She emailed our in-store trainer, who happens to be a good friend of mine and wanted me to email me links to this site where real parents and safety fanatics are talking about the van. She said that they are putting together another focus group to see what would be good in the van and wanted input from a safety stand point :thumbsup::thumbsup:
I emailed her many of the threads on here about it along with the blog review on the 2011 Sienna....so it sounds as though they ARE listening!
