Toyota's new Sienna minivan will come with a 4 cylinder

Its about time. I'm not sure why all the automakers all went to V6 only minivans, but Toyota is bringing back the 4 cylinder. Unfortunately, its still not that fuel efficient. Their Rav4 still beats it by a fair margin at 22/28. Still, I guess its a step in the right direction. Now, we just need a hybrid with a ~2.0L atkinson.

3.5L 266 hp V6 = 18/24
2.7L 187 hp I4 = 19/26
