I own an AWD LE 2004 MY. With combination of snow tires, the driving has always been great. However after watching this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t09ExAUgtyE">video</a> and reading a lot of opinions\tech discussions about AWD\4WD, I have a few questions for you experts.
1. How will 2011 Sienna behave if you put it to a test as shown in this video?
2. Recently, I tried to help my friend with a 2008 Highlander 4WD to get out of the parking spot after the recent winter storm in Edison, NJ. On one occasion I noticed that his front wheels were spinning on the ice while the rear wheels were on a surface with traction. But they never turned and it took him some moving back and forth to get out of that spot. If it was 4WD, it should have gotten out with the rear wheel traction, shouldn't it?
3. How will 2011 Sienna behave in the situation as explained in #2?
4. In the situation as described in #2, will there be differences in behavior between a 2010 Sienna and 2011 Sienna?
Thanks for all your input in advance.
