Default Hottest Alphard Today

Hey there fellow friends, I just want to ask if my 2013 Alphard deserves a Lexus emblem. Yes a Lexus emblem, I’ve owned this van for more or less 2 years, I bought it second hand from a friend and I decided to mod it. The mods that I’ve done so far is to wrap it, put in a Wald body kit, change the brake calipers, change the rims, and fitted in extra comfort Tein suspensions. Everyday I look at this van and I always wanted to put in a Lexus emblem to make it look better. I also want to know what future mods I should do with this Alphard.



I 2 toned the body to add contrast



Yes, it could’ve been better with a chrome grille but the wrap was too thin and the composite material ruins it ://



That right there is my school and my car

IMO, Alphard always deserves a Lexus emblem if it’s ever for sale in the US. I would be the first to buy one...

Me 2, but that would need to be a real Lexus Alphard, like a LX vs. Land Cruiser, spruced up a little more

I'm surprised Lexus don't Lexus-ize the Alphard, especially in markets like North America where they don't bring in the Toyota or Vellfire versions. The LX and GX are rebadged and up-specced versions of Toyota products anyway. I'm more a fan of sitting in the back of an Alphard because it's so roomy and comfy, whereas it's not much fun to drive because there's a lot of wind noise up front and it handles like a barge. Power is decent on the 3.5 V6 but a hybrid V6 variant should be better for torque.
