I apologize for the delay in responding to your inquiry. We had a miscommunication with sales and thought they had already given you a call!  
 
Our current ETA on getting the new Braun XT models in is 8/20/2010 give or take a day or two for shipping. I will send you an e-mail privately with the colors and details. 
 
Sorry for the hold up!

We will be purchasing a Sienna LE with preferred package rampvan XT soon. I will be the driver from a wheelchair. Can the 8 way lumbar support drivers seat be converted to the passenger seat because the drivers seat will be out of the van most of the time for I will be driving most of the time and my wife will be the passenger. I would hate to waste the "PREFERRED PACKAGE" drivers seat capability on a seat sitting in the garage, when my wife sits in a second class seat.

Unfortunately, you would not be able to use the driver's seat in place of the passenger seat, because the seat belts would be on the wrong side, and the vehicle has not been crash tested that way. 
 
We want all of our Braun users to be as safe as possible.
