Rep Power: 25 | I literally recoiled in either shock or disgust, not sure which was the dominant reaction, when I saw that picture. EDIT: Haha the license plate looks like it says HELLFIRE on first glance. Last edited by airmenair; May 13th, 2008 at 08:46 PM.. |

Car: 1996 Grand Am SE sedan, and dad's 2006 S60 2.5T Rep Power: 41  | That's pretty cool. I like a lot of those interesting looking Japanese vans that have interiors that look like they belong in spaceships; though now everything is getting more bland. There was a special edition of the older Alphard, for instance, that looked more luxurious than many luxury sedans. I'll post pictures of that if I can find out what it was.

Car: 2006 MY07 Astra SRi Turbo Rep Power: 74 | I suppose you won't mistake it in your mirrors. And probably plough off the road due to your reaction.

I doubt a van will ever be beautiful but it can look workmanlike or sturdy, at least. They don't have to be hideous.

Car: 93 Toyota Tercel LFS Status:  Rep Power: 21 | I like the Alphard. The point of it is that it's big and comfortable. I was in Japan a while back and I had a chance to sit in one of these vans. Theres so much space and luxury in one of those vans that it felt like a lounge. Besides, I think it just looks like a normal van. Not pretty, but not ugly either.

Rep Power: 29 | Ewan McGregor is advertising the new Alphard. As much as they are family cars, they're also pushed as "limousine buses", like wizegui said they're pretty luxurious. Ugly, but luxurious.
