First off. THe 2007 Estima looks pretty damn nice. Too bad the US aren't selling these because these would probably be more of a competition to the Odyssey than our SIennas, even though they're considered the "Lexus" of minivans.
I like that look, it's different while still managing to seem familiar. Kind of Civic-like in the front, not bad, and the rear looks like the sienna mated with an RX330, good. Nice.
A few more pics on the Estima/Previa (this one is the Taiwan version):
-Front, rear and side profile photo
-Simple yet innovative centre console
-Smart Entry System with Push Button Start
-Second row Captain's chairs with Ottoman recliner
-Driver & Passenger seat heaters with power door ON/OFF button
-Driver & Passenger reading lamps ; controls for sliding power doors and power rear door
-Twin sunroof/moonroof (for certain markets)
-Button for power rear door
-Third-row seats can be stored/stowed under the compartment bay (with a press of a button)
-Electronically-movable Third row seats.
I love the seating in those....And I am not a Mini Van Dood either...
OFF topic old dude.. I just noticed u live in Lansing, Michigan... Was my home for my SPARTAN years... Will visit soon to check up on some of my old friends there.....
Is that Dooly's bar still there on Grand River ave? Awesome hot chicks place it was.
Yes it is there...it is another name now. (Can't remember it) nothing like the older days tho...I remember "smoking" in the old bars in East Lansing....I am not talking cigarettes either.. It was a $5.00 fine back then....

I am guessing, there aren't a whole lot of safety features on that thing? Or am i wrong? I just got a 2006 Odysee a couple of months ago. It was pretty hard for me to pick between the Seinna and Odysee, but the proper space for the spare tire and better handling for the Odysee got me.
Personally i like minivans. I usually drive around with no second row seats. Makes me feel like i have a limo.
Pretty cool van I must say...maybe Toyota will bring a modified version to the U.S. as the next gen Sienna? I only say modified not only cause of emissions and safety regs but also in the U.S. unlike most (not all) places minivans have a stigma so the market itsn't really there to pimp out a van per say...an SUV is what would be more acceptable as far as many cool and high tech features which Toyota and others already offer or have...my first car was a 1987 Toyota Van, fuckin' awesome You sat up high and it had a short wheel base so you can take tight turns-of course it was at the point where you have to replace one thing after the next but I still love and miss my baby Oh well! Anyway cool van thanks for the pics.

I am a mini van guy. Am I am 19 male. I think they should bring that over here to compete with the Mazda 5.
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.
what are you guys thinking ? sienna replacement ? no way . that van is at least 6-8 inches narrower than a sienna .its a large microvan. probably qualifys as subcomact here

That Estima does have alot of safety feature like knee airbag, curtain airbag cover from first row to last row, AFS headlight, 4 wheel disk brake with ABS and EBD, VSC, laser cruise control, parking sensor, PRECRASH SYSTEM and a system that will BEEP if you drift out from you own lane. 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.
