Seems like a trend going on. Check out the one I took a picture of when I was in Vegas...

i do think Lexus can pull off a nice Luxury Minivan... and people will buy it because it'll be the 1st and only Luxury Minivan (I don't know what you call the "R-Class" for Mercedes other than ugly).

Personally, I'd like to see a van from Lexus (or any of the luxury car brands).

Just my opinion.

I'm just getting ideas from Japanese vans and minivans/mpv vehicles hehe.

Toyota Previa


Toyota Alphard


Honda Elysion


Nissan Elgrand


Nissan Presage


Mazda 8 MPV


Hehe

I would definitely buy one if they came out with one. I had a 2000 Sienna that i sold and regretted it. Very comfy, good gas mileage and roomy. I've even considered buying a new Sienna and just dynomatting the whole van to get less road/wind noise.

That cheapo dealer should've used a Limited Sienna if they wanted to go "upscale"
They used an old 05> LE

I agree with Blackraven's choices

No lexus minivan for me. Leave it to Toyota.

I've seen several Alphards that are badged as Lexus, and at first I thought it was a joke, but now knowing the expense and luxury amenities, I can see why the owners 'felt' they had bought a Lexus. I think it will be interesting to see a Lexus minivan...the 'VX' or some kind of V-designation comes to mind.

I remember we had this posted many years ago on the forum. It's a Toyota Estima.
