Default Re: 2008 Toyota Sequoia interior....What a shame

HiAce was never sold in US or Canada.... Maybe Mexico. They actually still manufacture the Hiace as previa really never replaced anything in NA or anywhere else as they still make both.
Incorrect....the HiAce was sold in the US during the 1980's and was called the "Toyota Van". Exact same vehicle as the HiAce which was sold throughout the rest of the world at the time. Obviously the term HiAce was a name that didn't resonate with Americans as a minivan. The Toyota Van was replaced by the US only product of the Previa which was later replaced by the Sienna. Neither the Previa or Sienna are sold in any significant #s outside the US while the HiAce/"Toyota Van" continues to be sold to ROW.

The Sequioa is appealing to a completely different buyer who has 1/2 the income as those who purchase 200 series.
Sounds like an unsubstantiated opinion...got any facts to support that claim? I could have afforded any of the vehicles on your list and chose the Plat sequoia. I traded a 740il for a Denali XL because it was a better vehicle for my needs.

While income matters, needs matter more. The Sequoia is simply a superior vehicle from an interior flexibility and space perspective vs the LC/LX. Hands down. The fact that I get to keep an extra $20K in my pocket is a nice bonus.
