I must say that I thought it would be a little bigger. I wish Toyota would also go more luxury with its Dashboards and control functions. The silver space age stuff looks kind of cheap and similiar to Nissan.
I feel the same too. The front end is too short compared to the rest of the body and that makes it more looks like a van than a suv
Funny but the wheels on the 2 in Miami looked better than those I've seen recently...
What is the old size again? Will someone also PLEASE let us know if Platinum can be ordered with second row BENCH, not captains chairs...
2007 = 128 cubic feet cargo space 2008 = ?
also, any idea on supply vs demand for 2008 in December?
For all the info except pricing on the new 2008 Sequoia. Lots of pictures also. The first 8 are the 2007 but the following 45 or so are of the 2008. She is a beauty!
Here's the link to standard equipment, options, and specs. Pricing will be announced in a couple of weeks.

Way to go PILOT...GO HONDA GO HONDA..
VOTE: If cost was not a factor what would people here prefer? Second row captains chairs or second row bench?
I have looked at the interior of the 2008 Sequoia and am amazed that we have a choice of either orange/red, grey, or beige. The orange/red interior is probably the ugliest I have ever seen in an SUV and is not even a consideration. The carpet for either the grey or beige is very light and would almost be considered an off-white because it is so light in color. Why would we want to consider a Sport Utility Vehicle to haul around the kids with a carpet that is best described as an off-white in color. We would not even consider an off-white carpet for our home let alone for our SUV. An SUV should have interior that looks nice (at 50K+ it should look nice) but at the same time is durable and would hide dirt. Who would want to constantly clean up after hauling kids and toys?
Also, why would you even consider 2nd row bucket seats for an SUV? I vote for BENCH...
I have friends that thought the bucket seat was a nice option until they actually got an SUV with bucket seats for the 2nd row. They have since sold the SUV and purchased one with bench seats.
I understand that the pearl white exterior only comes in the Platinum model which only has the 2nd row bucket seats... I don't understand the limitation.
At least go look at it. Your more expensive luxury cars have the same color interior in them as well.
If I could spec the vehicle, I would get all black leather interior.
You can always buy after market leather. From what I hear, a lot of the after market is nicer than the factory leather.
Good Luck.
What is the big draw that makes all these people want to choose the Platinum over the Limited?
The Platinum is a $60K vehicle, is everybody willing to spend that for a Sequoia?
My thought is that the Limited offers most of the same features, has the bench 2nd seat, and will cost thousands less...
I have been waiting since '05 for the new Sequoia to be unveiled but so far I like the exterior but I am very disappointed with the look of the interior. The dash of my 1993 Ford Bronco looks better than the new Sequoia. The carpet is too light and the dash looks very cheap with lots of plastic. So disappointed that I was even looking at the QX56 and the Navigator today. Both have interiors that is far superior to the Sequoia and I am sure that the price will be lots cheaper.
Last year we thought about a new Avalon but settled on an Lexus only because the interior of the Avalon was too cheap looking with lots of chrome/plastic and blonde wood. I was hoping that Toyota had learned their lesson and was moving forward but I guess not...
I have not decided what to do... but this is the year for a decision.
I would prefer a dash that looks like it belongs in a $50K vehicle without all of the plastic.
In our family of five (three active boys, coach & sportsman dad and gardner mom) and two dogs (akitas), we NEED a large SUV! Unfortunately we dont have the economic luxury of buying an extra vehicle for the days when one of us just needs to go to work or just run to the 7-11. So yes, on those days it may appear that I could have purchased a civic, but if you catch us on most days our Sienna and soon Sequoia are doing what they were ment to --- carrying big dogs and their food; bags of soccer balls, cones, my kids and the occasional extra kid that needs a ride to practice ; large bags of soil, mulch and fertilizer; three boys who,,, sometimes change into cubscout unifoms in the back seat and on and on and on and on and on...... Try this with a Passant as we did for years and you will kiss the hot tail pipe of a large SUV......
