Default 2009 Toyota Alphard


Introducing, the new Toyota Alphard 2009! You can literally feel the wind by looking at its design. Superbly designed for optimum aerodynamics!
The all new Toyota Alphard has been officially launched in Japan and now for the first time made available in two different series, the “Alphard” series which emphasizes “elegance” and “refinement” while the “Vellfire” accentuates “power” and “innovation,” thus creating two vehicles with individual identities.
It gets a new 3.5-liter Dual VVT-i V6 engine, coupled with 6 Super ECT and the dependable 2.4-liter VVT-i engine now comes with increased output, coupled with Super CVT-i which provide driving performance with power to spare.A six-speed Sequential Shiftmatic transmission on the 3.5-liter models and a seven-speed Sports Sequential Shiftmatic transmission on 2.4-liter models allow the driver to enjoy a manual transmission-like sensation.
Alright now, let’s drool!

The rear lights looked like wings.

Transformer like grilles.

Killer Eye.

The back-end.

The Interior. 1 LCD monitor for each passenger. Awesome stuff.

The side mirror.

Toyota Alphard 2009 Dashboard. Breath-taking illumination.

The cockpit.

Large LCD screen in the middle for GPS, status indicators, and entertainment.

Indirect LED lights and angelic neon light effects from the sides. Heaven-like!

The passenger bay. Who needs a cinema anyway?

Nice looking car.

Wow, that interior looks like a concept car.

Very luxurious and modern, I can see why owners have been known to badge their Alphards as a Lexus.

My dream car when I'm done with my study in the US. The only bad thing is that with the money I get for selling my LS460L, I'll only be able to afford 2005-2006 Alphard.
Gotta hate import tax.

You guys may want to check out Alphard's twin, the Vellfire.

I like the overall design but I'm not feeling the grill or the tailiights.

As far as the interior is concerned, I'm lovin' it

But the name gotta go, cause it sounds more like RETARD!
