This week on RPM — Reviews, Performance & Motorsports, Jim takes a look at one of the most practical vehicles on the road today… and why it might be the smartest family vehicle you can buy.

The 2026 Toyota Sienna continues Toyota’s hybrid-only minivan approach, delivering impressive fuel economy, surprising driving refinement, and the kind of everyday usability most SUVs simply can’t match. Jim breaks down what it’s like behind the wheel, why the Sienna drives more like a car than a traditional van, and why the minivan may be making a quiet comeback.

Then we shift gears into global motorsports.

With the Formula 1 season kicking off this weekend, Jim revisits his conversation with Mario Andretti from the moment Cadillac was officially approved to join the F1 grid. Andretti talks about the significance of an American manufacturer entering Formula 1, what it means for the sport, and why this could be a major turning point for American racing fans.

Two very different machines… one big automotive conversation.

On this episode:

• 2026 Toyota Sienna driving impressions

• Why minivans are quietly making a comeback

• Hybrid performance and real-world usability

• Mario Andretti on Cadillac entering Formula 1

• What the Cadillac F1 entry could mean for American racing
