if they do RWD with this minivan then it would be something super rare in the market
along with good looks and coming from toyota, its a winner!

but i doubt it will be using RWD
it just isnt easy to do RWD on a minivan

 

I actually think that looks pretty good for a van

 

love the sleek look....it's basically a jdm odyssey fighter (the civic based one)

 

it wont be becuz it seems like its utilizing the camry platform.

 

No way, it's not boxy and ugly enough. This one's good looking.

 

Indeed, that article is sending mixed signals.

The purported availability of the 2.4-liter four-cylinder and the "loosely connected to the Camry" remark imply that this is simply one more vehicle sitting on the FWD Camry/Avalon/2nd-gen Highlander/upcoming 3rd-gen Lexus RX platform.

On the other hand, the use of "Mark X" in the model name is a tantalizing suggestion that this may well sit on the RWD Toyota Mark X/3rd-gen Lexus GS platform (with these two sedans even sharing the same wheelbase). If the latter is the case, is it really much of a stretch to see the Mark X Zio as a less-expensive and luxurious, rebodied and smaller-engined version of the rumo(u)red production version of the Lexus LF-X concept to rival the 2nd-gen Infiniti FX?

 

Wasn't the Previa RWD?

 

Yes, it was.

 

MR to be exact.

So is it packaging? (i.e. can't have a flat floor and bins to fold the seats into) that restricts RWD minivans?
