i could not agree more... Cut the middle section out and bring the front and rear together.. and that would make the PERFECT XB replacement!!!!! The rear is the kicker!!!!! It's the best part to me!

PHOTOCHOP PLEASE!!!!!.. Someone tell the higher ups in toyota to think about it......

Quite right... there are plenty of very well designed and stylish minivans in japan...

The best thing for this 'Hunter' guy to do is to import those into the US without any unneccessary changes. Anytime they try to 'americanize' the cars, they always end up screwing it up. And the original designs done by the Toyota USA studios are all garbage. If I wanted to buy a crap american car I would've bought a Saturn or some such. You want 'J-factor'? Import the real J cars. Who wants a fake copy instead of the real deal?

Hehehehehe, the front end looks like someone who's shoved too many donut's in their mouth. But the interior intrigues me due to the fact that you have an office in your own van. Shoot you could practically have a corporate meeting in there while your going to a business lunch. I like the thought of that, and I'm not even a business man.
