2 Sienna's in our family to talk about.

The "Original" 2004 Sienna LE that we bought new has gone from "Baby" to "Mom's Van" to now - with 298K miles and still cruising - we call her "The OG Sienna" (the kids love that name!!).
The 2021 Sienna LE now has the nicknames "Mom's Van", "Mom's New Sienna" and "No, you can't borrow it". 😁

 

Have you gone thru any transmissions or engines?

 

Look at this unbridled orgy of imagination at Fuelly

 

Our 1999 is “Vanilla.”
So named for the white color, a tongue-in-cheek reference to the stereotype that minivans are boring, and (obviously) that it’s a van.

We call other first gens we see on the road things like “pistachio,” “blueberry,” and “cinnamon.”

 

We have a pearl white, so it’s big like an iceberg. So we decided to go with Berg.

 

One of those pearl jobs should, of course, be called Vanna White. Welcome to Instant Rimshot

 

White or blue.

 

Our previous vans were named Brownie and Bluey. Our current '22 LE is celestial silver so I started with Silver Bullet then shortened it to Silver. My wife calls it (her) Betty because she likes the name. Our magnetic gray 4Runner is Earl - short for Earl Grey.

 

We rollin' in The Big White Phatty...

 

My blue '21 XSE is Oliver - we call him "Ollie" for short... my kiddos were on an Oliver (musical/movie) kick when we got him

 

Mine is Rodimus Prime...still trying to talk the wife into getting flame paint job done....

 

Wow, did you secretly upgrade to the Prime version? Strong is my envy

 

I originally didn’t name it, and even thought it was silly to do so. Though more recently something popped up in my mind and now I’m calling it Queso Blanco. And memorializing it in the App. What are any of you calling yours? Please share. View attachment 62806

I have a 2018 L white color barebones that I call “The Beast” because of 80% of the miles have been driving it between SoCal and Baja California Sur MX. it handles just fine but 4 flats during these Baja runs luckily all slow leaks and never stranded us yet.

 

We bought our sliver 2005 Sienna in December of 2004, just in time to bring home our newborn. Like many of you, she was just “The Van” until my daughter took her to be her college vehicle. She officially christened her Vanessa, and declared that she be referred to as such from hence forth. Who am I to argue with that?!! 😁

 

Shaniqua... cause she's big, black and in our eyes, beautiful.... <smile>

 

Blueberry is the name for my '06

 

We traded in a Prius V, so we call our 2021 Sienna, "Big Brother", from the book called "1984".
