Maybe he want's something the size of the MB Sprinter. What do you guys think?

Makes sense in Japan where vans are very popular. Would not fly in the US

 

So a stretched LS600H is not good enough for them? Poor guys....that's cruel and unusual punishment. My heart just bleeds for them.

 

RIP R-Class wagon/mini-van, same would happen in N. America (even quicker death for a Lexus van).

 

 

If they're b****ing about lack of van, then they should start with a Toyota Alphard and Vellfire

 

Nooooooooooooooooo!

 

there really isn't any super good looking van out there. The sienna is boring. They can't give away the grand caravan.

the nissan quest would have been stellar if they stuck to the elgrande front end. It's so lame that nissan management decided to make the quest look worse when they already had the perfect van suited for North America. The ElGrande front is so gorgeous.

 

i knew someone would bring up these two cars

 

I personally think the Odyssey is the best looking, and most appealing overall Minivan (North American that is)...

Lexus van? Not suited to our market IMHO.

 

The biggest difference is the height, a van is twice as tall as a sedan. Next to the Vellfire, even the stretched Maybach 62 look cramped. The LS600hL looks like someone leather wrapped a Camry as a joke compare to those 2.

If I have a chauffer, minivan would be my choice of vehicle

Let's do a photo comparison:

1, Toyota Vellfire Royal Lounge.
2, Maybach 62
3, Lexus LS600hL

 

I'd rather they make a Sienna Platinum or something super expensive with all the luxury touches. I think that would actually go well with affluent families and even livery service.

 

Why minivan? I say go 80's custom paint conversion van.
