Like someone said, the base 2.4liter engine will not survive the streets in the states.

wow. Yeah just look at the Alphard G with the reclining second row seats or was it 3rd row and missing 2nd row??) and the hardwood flooring and curtains lol. True Japanese luxury.

LX570 costs around 350k in my country.

Funny you mention that. As a die hard Toyota guy, I really wanted to buy
the Sienna. I ended-up with the Odyssey because I prefered the looks and
I felt some of the features were better suited to how I'll be using it
(it's a work van). Also, they make the '08s in a really purdy blue color...

BTW, my '08 EX-L has 241 hp and variable cylinder management, so it's
pretty economical. The first tank of gas averaged 23 mpg w/ mixed driving!

Respect the van!

same here, i do prefer the odyssey look a lot more than the sienna, though the fit and finish on the honda is not as good as toyota imho

i really wish they brought over the alphard. man, with that car, i am sooo buying that in a heart beat
