Yes its a older model Toyota Estima, not sure when the last time it was sold in the US though, maybe 10 years ago.
there popular in Japan but a little on the pricey side.

It was never sold in the US. . .

It was the successor to the now exctinct Previa/Lucida (name depends on market). The Previa WAS sold in the US, but in its stock form, it never looked that cool.

The Estima is still in production, and is also offered in a hybrid configuration.

The Previa/Lucida/Estima's were technically mid-engine vans, as the engine was under the driver/passenger's seat. RWD and available with AWD.

I'm not a fan of that one, as it is a little to wild for my taste. . . but I love Estima's with a clean and modest VIP look (drop, wheels, kit, no over-kill camber PLEASE).

Overkill camber reminds me of morbidly obese women in small swimsuits. Everything just hangs out for no reason. Things don't fit for a reason.
