It even have safety pad on the front hood and bumper for protecting pedestrain if there isa an accident between the car itself to a pedestrain.

The problem is Japanese people usually like to keep the good stuff (3.5 V6 280hp, 6 spd auto, and the precrash system) to themselves instead for exporting worldwide.

Speaking of which, Crown Motors Hong Kong shown in their website that their New Previa has 11-airbags feature.

So, in a word, while some "goodies" are kept in Japan (like 6-speed Super ECT or 7-speed Super CVT-i while we just get 4-speed Super ECT), it is how much the dealer/distributor pays for added features/specs.

Also, I think they also have the Twin Moonroof thing (like in Taiwan). And third-row seats that "electrically fold" with a press of a button.

I believe that the Estima is also available and has been for about FIVE years in Japan as a HYBRID. I saw it on a Toyota showroom floor with mileage projections of around 30 mpg in city driving....

Another one....we don't get.

Comapred to the Sienna, the Previa is 12ins shorter, 7 inches narrower, about as tall, over 200 lbs lighter. I think it would be a hit. Looks hot too.

The Estima is bit bigger than the Mazda 5..... I don't think there'll be much competition compared to that. It's more competition to the MPV. Maybe Lexus should bring that over as their minivan, instead of dubbing the Sienna as the "Lexus" of minivans.

Street racing MPV's?

Yeah... there's this white modded Odyssey in my city. It's lowered, bodykit, rims, exhaust.. that's all I can see. There's probably Hondata under the hood.
