obviously the u.s. general public does not agree as suv/cuv sales are not far greater than sedans. also, suvs are not truck-like at all these days. they're basically tall wagons. and yes, vans may provide more people and cargo space, but i personally didn't want or need a 3 row vehicle.
so do you think the rx350 is 'silly' also? it's lexus' best seller by far.
so do you think all rx350 buyers should be buying vans instead?

if they need the cargo space? yes if we are talking about "making sense" point of view imho
i can truly say for us, we got suv because we need more than 5 seats and space, and we just don't like the minivan styling here in the US, so larger suv is our only choice
if they had brought over the alphard or vellfire? we would have been driving it

SUVS are popular because trucks are popular in America I think , they look like trucks but rides better.

As bad as they might look, is still way nicer then a truck to me............that's what Uhaul is for.

As with all "crazy" new Toyota design in Japan, they are a huge sales hits.
42k orders in 30 days, vs 7k expected normal monthly... 22k Vellfire, 20k Alphard (Vellfire was expected to sell 30% better)... 25% hybrids, 50% for Alphard, so Alphard is likely more expensive. These two sell at Lexus prices in Japan.
Toyot says these are the reasons customers are buying:
- Large front grille to produce a bold and glamorous with evil Alphard unique, design highlights the features such as VELLFIRE seems rugged front view
- Compare favorably fine ride in luxury sedan, in addition to running stability, quietness appropriate for luxury cars
- More Intelligent Parking Assist 2 and with enhanced usability, advanced equipment, such as panoramic view monitor
- For example, to adopt a dedicated sheet widely spacious in the second seat, the new grade that can provide high satisfaction for people who ride "Executive Lounge"
