LAS VEGAS — The stretched Toyota Sienna Swagger Wagon Supreme that debuted at the 2010 SEMA Show is designed to be a bracing antidote to the negative mom-mobile image of most minivans.
The custom minivan "dismisses the notion that to drive a minivan is to sacrifice personal style in favor of family functionality," said Toyota in a statement.
Toyota and B.A.D. Company teamed up to stretch a 2011 Sienna SE V6 by nearly 4 feet, then added a custom acrylic roof, 20-inch chrome wheels and an airbag suspension system that allows the ground clearance to range from 2.5-6.5 inches. Other exterior cues include a custom rear spoiler, shaved door handles on the sliding doors, custom chrome exhaust tips and a "Blue Swagger Opal" paint job.
Kids aren't totally forgotten with this minivan. The custom seats can be reversed to bright Crayola-like shades to please the pint-size set. But adults can enjoy a "spa seat" equipped with a multifunction massage unit.
There's also an integrated glass-front refrigerator and DuPont Corian countertop. Entertainment details abound and include an Xbox 360 gaming system, a custom JBL audio system and a 23-inch HP TouchSmart computer.
Toyota points out that the Facebook community has provided lots of input on the SEMA minivan, including selecting the name — which is a mouthful.
Inside Line says: Overkill for the school carpool, but perfectly appropriate for the over-the-top SEMA Show. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent

I'm note sure that floor is Pergo style (basically a photo of wood on an MDF base layer). It looks like engineered lumber, real wood veneer over a base of luan and MDF.

Though the floor looks nice, it is not safe to have this kind of slippery flooring.

Finally, husbands of soccer-moms can be slightly less humiliated when being compared to chauffers.

As long as you don't have to look at the minivan getting in, it's a nice piece of work. That roof is a nice touch if out on the town and one wanted to see the sights...

It reminds me of the stretch limo Hummers. Which is to say a clunky bus with pretentions.
Within it there is a nugget of a good idea... a stretch family vehicle that could carry 9 or 10 people. The only other vehicle that can carry as many, full sized vans, are built on outdated body on frame platforms that haven't been updated in decades. They are absolutely primitive so that this, unweildy as it may be incomparison to it's normal length version, could be a significant step up in comfort and drivability.
