Releasing in Japan as the Toyota Previa, and in Australia as the Toyota Tarago, this could very well indicate the styling direction of the next US-Spec Sienna. This model is a little too small for the US Market, but expect it's big brother to look very similar.

 

correct me if im wrong, but the Previa is japanise but the dash is written in english??

 

the japanese often mix a lot of english into their language. it's also sold in australia right? they speak english.

 

good point. i completely ignored the australia part.

 

wow it looks amazing. i wouldn't mind driving a white one around =D

 

Interesting

 

I really don't like the front grille... actually the whole front end. It's got basically the same styling as the '06 Civic - with the hood/windshield looking 1-piece, and an ugly narrow grille.

 

Those La-Z-Boy style rear seats are awesome. Too bad I'm not 8 years old anymore.

 

hmm .. as far as minivans go ... thats pretty hot. i still cant see myself ever rocking a minivan tho...

 

You know that would look sick all VIP'd out...

 

that second picture reminds me a lot of the toyota matrix only bigger

 

Definately looks very similar to the '06 Civic front end especially that pic of it in black. I have to admit thats a pretty hot mini-van. Foreign markets have always had more progressively styled vans though. Americans are way more conservative when it comes to vehicle styling which is totally lame....

 

Llike already stated, they use a mixture of english, but if you look at the top of the picture where the navigation is you will see the writing is in Japanese.

 

front end looks like a civic

 

As much as I like it, I don't see too many soccer mom's falling in love with that front end...

 

also what country is callin it estima?

 

wow. hope you guys don't mind me posting the link over at the sienna club. all credit goes to the scion club of course

 

In Japan its called the Estima and everywhere else its the Previa or Tarago or some other name. Darren made a mistake on that.

 

I think the exterier is too futuristic for tires...lol :D

 

I believe this news is a few months old already. My wife was the one that told me about this because with our baby on the way she's eagerly awaiting for the hybrid version of this vehicle to come state side.
