hybrid has worked out great for me.

my ES300h is about 12-13 gallons to fill up from the empty light and can get me almost 550 miles a tank, mostly 450-500. on a bad day it gets me ~32MPG.

my 2015 Legacy is about 18-19 gallons to fill up from empty and gets at most ~400 miles a tank, mostly 300-350. on a bad day I'd be lucky to get 20MPG tops.
I'm not sure if Toyota plans to ramp up new Sienna production. Like Tundra, production is already maxed out. Maybe if the new Sienna sells well, they'll add a shift, but I think it's more like getting everything out of the same TMNA platform used in Camry, Avalon, RAV4, and now new Venza and Sienna.

I recall during Supra reveal that someone on Japan staff said it will be the last ICE only car they produce for the US. That was around the time they offered all of their hundreds of hybrid synergy drive patents to everyone for free.
