Default It finally happened. the Lexus van is a thing..

honestly im surprised it took as long as it did. seems like everyone else has had some sort of van in the past. now its our turn.

behold the Lexus LM... yes, for real..

luxury minivans have been a thing in Asia for a long time, but not so much here. right now its sticking to its region and hopefully we never see it here. i myself will never drive a minivan, but if i had to, this would obviously be the only choice.

its got plenty of bling, and the interior sure looks nice!

I've driven Alphards in Asia....definitely quite popular and luxurious. Not sure how much 'improvements' with respect to 'price' will be when and if Lexus release its minivan.

A bit too late in the market for me but welcome the idea. Wish a hybrid version or better yet an EV in the Lexus line up.

I don't like minivans. Except in demo derbys. But I have to admit, I would buy this van for vacations. And make someone else drive. The back looks comfortable as h@##

That’s the point of these vans like the alphard or vellfire, you’re meant to be driven in them like limos. They don’t serve the same purpose as they do here which is why it most likely won’t be available in the states.
