Just bring the Alphard Royal Lounge over and badge it a Lexus (and maybe give it some L-finesse treatment lol). I mean, it does the level of luxury and refinement of a true Lexus already.

The R class isn't a van in my opinion.

This is a van.

I agree with Blackraven's choices

No lexus minivan for me. Leave it to Toyota.

Last time i used their shuttle service, the Sienna was leather wrapped so i think that model was limited

But yeah its kind of funny to see all the lexus logos on a mini van.

A Sienna XLE Limited AWD is practically a Lexus minivan. It's just missing a few Lexus details (softer overhead grips or boxes lined in felt or thicker glass or any other small Lexus details for example)

That's the Alphard I was talking about, there have Lexus-badged Alphards in Japan, HK, etc.

Only thing with the barcaloungers is that would make the LS Exec package seem a bit less exclusive. Otherwise, restyle the exterior, Lexus-ize the interior styling...VX 400h here we come!

If lexus had those as shuttles, I wouldn't care for loaners. Just drop me off at work and pick me up

Especially with MB. It's embarrassing to be driving a cobalt loaner. I always get the shuttle service

The local Lexus dealer here uses the Sienna XLE, while BMW down the street uses Sienna LEs or CEs and has a sign on the sides that says BMW Concord Executive Transporation. I don't consider a CE or LE "executive" transit, even the bus sounds tempting at this point

My old job uses a Odyssey Touring, no NAV for one of its service shuttles. Not bad for being a Honda dealer
