Definitely. The Sienna is shorter than Sequoia so this should be too. It's still a mid sized suv not full sizedWait, this thing is still shorter than the Sequoia though? Argh?!?!?!

At the final thoughts section, Mark said "this is the last video of Toyota/Lexus vehicles before Grand Highlander comes". Considering that they review Toyota/Lexus very frequently like at 2 or 3 a month, are we having media access/reviews on GH as soon as it is introduced?
That is exactly what it is, 2nd row moved forward to adult unusable.
If not, in case Americans do not know, in Europe there is a type of vehicle that better meets their needs, than any of their CUVs/SUVs/truck, and that is vans.
They also come with AWD.
Cousin owned one. Seats 6 people very comfortably. Individual captain's chairs with reclining and footrest. Carries 12 suitcases. Powered by a 255hp 2.0T I4 but still enough power because vans are also lightweight.That is exactly what it is, 2nd row moved forward to adult unusable.

I couldn’t agree more! I am so frustrated and saddened by the fact that sedans are dead in the U.S. As a kid, my family of 4 comfortably sat in a 4 door midsize sedan on cross country trips, with luggage and a cooler full of lunches, snacks and drinks in the trunk. It’s do-able. I’m not sure why we have to all have big suvs or trucks.All this extra hassle because Americans refuse to buy minivans. They would spend twice the money just to avoid buying a minivan.
Having to transport 5-6 people in a 3 ton vehicle and driving pickup trucks to get grocery are the most irrational consumer behaviors I've ever seen. I'm not even talking about environment impact but the financial impact to owners themselves.
My parents was looking for a new vehicle in Hong Kong around late 2020, it was between V260 or Alphard. Ultimately they went with V260 because the waiting list for an Alphard was 12+ months, V260 was available for immediate delivery.Cousin owned one. Seats 6 people very comfortably.

Best option is a van. If there was a market as there is for CUV/SUV, vans would also have performance versions that on track would be just as fast as SUVs.Doable....Sure. Better options....Many.
The biggest cost for auto ownership in the US is depreciation. Trucks and SUVs tend to hold their value better than cars -- which does tie into the irrational part of it -- but it is a fact that buyers consider. Depreciation isn't very efficiency dependent because gas still just isn't very expensive in the US.All this extra hassle because Americans refuse to buy minivans.

This is what the great country of the USA is. We, the people, have choices and that's great. If you don't live in America it is hard to understand (I know you said you moved here few months ago but still). Yes, transport 5-6 people in a 3 ton vehicle or driving pickup trucks to get grocery is such a waste. The same can be said for 2 people living a 5000 sq ft home with 8-cars garage. If you CAN afford it then Why not.All this extra hassle because Americans refuse to buy minivans. They would spend twice the money just to avoid buying a minivan.

This is Do-able but would you turn down the option to travel the country in a $100k Slades, Navigator, GLS, or LX600? I doubt that. The point is - it is GREAT to have options and the freedom to choose itI couldn’t agree more!
