for something that big, it sure has a sucky cargo capacity

 

^ yeah, but look how big and comfy-looking are the seats!

 

The one in the OP is the FT-MV Concept from 2007.

This is the production version. The top spec Alphard 350V 'L Package' & Vellfire 3.5Z 'G Edition' are my favorite, love the business class-like powered 2nd row captain chairs. I actually find it unusual that the smaller Estima/ Estima Hybrid gets the option of a Panoramic moon roof, but not the Alphard/ Vellfire.

Also, here's the Alphard's twin, the Toyota Vellfire (Replaced the Alphard V, sold through Toyota's Netz dealer network in Japan.)

Also, here's the JDM Royal Lounge version (Produced in limited numbers.)

 

Oh, the one I posted is a concept??? damn, I should never trust Arabic forums lol. -__-

oh btw, I wrote 2009 instead of 2010, I know its still wrong. I'm going to research.

 

ahh...no wonder the OP looked cooler than the ones I saw in Indonesia.

 

It's the last vehicle to use the 1MZFE engine and U140 transmission, too.

 

Just on que...

 

Very impresssive interior, and I like the purple dash lights, but, unless it is just some distortion from the camera angle, I don't think you could market something that high and narrow in the American market. With its high center of gravity, it might not pass our roll-over tests.

 

Awesome Japanese van

Never underestimate these types of vehicles

 

Love that purple ambient lighting. A la Virgin Atlantic

 

That's a really cool van. Well designed. Why do we never get these things!

 

Interior looks like first class seating with the monitors and cup holders etc.. I do like the interior.. Nicely done..

 

Now why on hell dont we have cars as such here in the states....

 

sweet! Royalty lounge please

Just add an option of Presidential-type of bullet proof glass et al and I'll take one lol

Honestly how can this thing have leg rest of sorts and LCD displays for each passenger and like also a note pad type of thing. While the LS460/600hL its one display for both passengers and only one ottoman wtf?!

 

Bring it over to the U.S. and badge it as Lexus.
