Yes I know about this van. It competes directly against Nissan Elgrand(sp?) in Japan. I wonder why not Toyota bring it to the U.S. and rebadge it as a Lexus. The first pure luxury van in the U.S.

Hmmm. . .very interesting indeed. I never knew that Toyota had full size van in Japan. And Nissan's version looks great. Anyhting would be better on our roadways that another SUV. These vans would serve practical uses for families and businesses.

wow, interior looks very nice..

would love to get a ride in one of those things!!

only thing that i don't really like is the frontend.. it just looks kind of weird.. but i think that it'll grow on me in time when i see more vans like that on the road.

Can you say BOWLING TEAM?! That's what I needed when I went to the state bowling tournament. A *few* creature comforts didn't hurt anyone.
