Not sure how many manufacturers have decided that they need an MPV which looks like a cross between a a transformer and a Manga comic escapee, but Toyota obviously did, and actually went ahead and made it!

A bit pricey granted, but how about it as a means of standing out from all those pesky 'me too' German SUV's?.

I think i love it, or maybe i hate it, can't quite decide!

Yep..utterly and so typically Japanese in style.

So ugly they appeal.!!...certainly a (Alphard/Vellfire) top model for sure...but far too much money nevertheless.

My V6 Toyota Estima import is well understated in comparison.

That is painfully ugly!

I'd rather wait for the bus.

Make a TRANSFORMER look sensible!

If I wanted an MPV I would certainly consider it, it is different after all.

Toyota, 3.5l V6, auto, whats not to like?

But the price

be amazed if they sell it for anything more than £15 grand

Any idea what this car costs in Japan? Any idea on a rough shipping cost?

Bleurgh! This one will not get first dance at the high school prom for sure. The design brief seems to have been to out-ugly the phenomenally ugly Mark 1 SsangYong Rodius, which is no mean feat. I'd be worried about a certain former Top Gear presenter dropping a grand piano on this, or, more likely, destroying it with gratuitous artillery fire - come back Fiat Multipla - all is forgiven!
