I'm quite the liberal person; more liberal that most.

That said, I am leaning towards the Sienna due to assumed reliability, fuel efficiency, and 8-seat option. It's $40k though, and used examples are still expensive.

The Sienna seats aren't removable, so that limits utility. The Pacifica seats are removable, but reliability is assumed to be worse. It's more expensive, but subsidies bring it around where the expensive Sienna is.

Maybe I'll get a CyberTruck.

My Dodge truck has 3 passengers up front. Unfortunately (or fortunately) all the rest have to sit in the bed.

The seats in the bed aren't so bad. My buddy Tom on our trip to Silver Lake.
