Welcome to Clublexus Vans.

The front end looks VW, the rest of the car looks an Accord or an Acura Rl.

Wow that was my first impression too, Acura TLish / Honda Accordish. I like the current on much better. The Jetta's are girly cars until they're modded then its very guyish.

I'm seeing more of a Catera design in the front ... and a Corolla in the rear; profile is undefined and unimpressive.
