the lesser model LE can? This is odd to me that the lower model Toyota Sienna LE can have up to 8 passengers. If you want to upgrade to an LXE the most you can have is seating for 7. I understand that the models with 7 passengers have "captain style seats that are removable...why couldn't they be just replaced with the seats that allow for 3? The LE can come with the captain seats if wanted but not the other way around seems a bit confusing to me...?
 
The XLE model can't have the extra seat because the XLE model is supposed to be bent more towards luxury, whereas the LE is basic utiltarian appliance.

If you absolutely need the 8th seat and still want some luxury features, than I would go with the Honda Odyssey Touring or EX-L. They both have leather seats and a sunroof, the Touring I believe has the Navi system.
