1. That Previa is awesome because it`s so different!

The minivans lose my interest (and this unfortunately includes mine) when they are fully windowed. Usually in this case the interior layout becomes predictable: a couch, lots of TV's and speakers.

I prefer panels where the guys can be more original and have more elements to customize: bed, seating, bar, travel accessories (sink, micro-wave, refrigerator), theme and then you finish it with Audio and Video. If it's done in a cool original way it evoques freedom on the road and I love to imagine where this cool van would take me.

2. Great point- using your van as a method to free yourself from the boredom of the highway makes complete sense.
I did like how creative the guys over in Japan were with their fiberglass work.
Road trips are short over there, so I'm sure the audio is a must.

3. Dan, I'm glad you understand. There's nothing cooler than showing up at a friend's party with your van and asking "Where do I park? BTW want a beer?" And then you pull a already cold one out of the refrigerator. That's when the others show up and start asking questions and checking out your ride...

And no worries about driving home and you're always the last to leave!

4. Good Points Matt! Vanners always bring the party with them, whether it be beers, or wine, or something called rule 6.... Its always a party and super nice to have everything you need right at your fingertips, so to speak.

5. Bring 'em on car companys. I'd give my left leg for a Hiace Turbo.
