Blackraven, I agree, that is a Honda's coolest minivan. The rear bumper will have to be extended to meet our standards though.

 

Hehe, yup. I do believe Honda is missing an opportunity here by not selling this vehicle overseas. That and I'm sure that there will be demand for an LHD version in the Americas as well as in the oil-rich Middle East (especially the GCC countries).

Oh and Honda Japan offers this vehicle in both FWD and 4WD () for each variant available hehe.

 

A lot of cars in Japan are offered in 4WD (AWD to us) but only offered in 2WD form here.

 

I like it!!! I have sat in plenty of Alphards before, and they are very comfortable. It is my usual ride to the airport and back in Singapore when my dad's buddy has his driver pick me up

I didn't know they used Alphards as taxis in NT. I thought it was mostly Crowns like the one behind it.

 

cabs used to be almost all crowns, but recent years i have seen some other cars including the alphard

 

And they ALL run on LPG (Liquefied petroleum gas) now right ?

 

good question, i know a lot of them do, but i don't know about all? i remember one year when i got back with a lot of luggage and saw this stupid tank in the trunk blocking 1/3 of the space...

 

The Crowns all run on LPG now, but the green Alphard taxi is a petrol hybrid. You can tell by the different grille and the smaller wheels. It has the same E-Four system as the Estima Hybrid, similar to the LS600h and RX400h.

To my knowledge there is no LPG Alphard.

 

Too bad Asians are adopting the American diet more and more everyday.

 

I'd refuse to ride in the 3rd row back seat.

 

that imho is one of the reasons why the car doesn't make its way here

 

Cool. Isn't Hyundai making an LPG hybrid Elantra?

 

If the scions sell here this well as well
