Cool pics... thanks for sharing.
Have you been in a Celsior? Are they just as nice as the LS430 or have they been cheapened a bit? How do they compare price-wise to the Lexus LS if you convert currency? Are they still a V8 and still just as quiet and well built? I assume maybe even built in the same factory as builds the LS?
Not a fan of sporty looking minivans, though. Strange trend.

and the mom's 3 series was 50K...i remember it had an engine that we didn't get here in america...bimmers are expensive as hell there.
its hard to talk cars with them since they don't exactly know too much themselves lol. Dad doesn't care about cars either, he drives a kei-truck lol.

But in fairness, I'd rather see ATV stay in the market so that TVB would have some competition. Besides, their Cantonese dub of Lucky Star is neat in itself.
So IMHO, I'd rather ATV be here to stay :P
@anyways
They now sell the Voxy officially in Hong Kong (by Toyota Hong Kong-Crown Motors). Unfortunately, the engine has no Valvematic and thus only uses 4-speed ECT auto (instead of the Super CVT unit of the JDM-spec versions).
