Are both sections power?

Heck even, late 70s~80s Suburbans had them.

Uhh. This has been resolved for many hatchbacks. As for sedans, why?

Seeing as how both were exclusively targeted towards commercial sales, I’m assuming a few conditions have to be met for them to make financial sense. You drive a ton of miles and/or you own a fleet of them to keep TCO lower than the domestic competition. Otherwise owning one for personal use is expensive.

But can an Oddy RWD?

What do you know. The Metris is always wider. The taller looks always made it look narrower.

Small cars have been getting squished greenhouses these days. Between tougher side impact regs and trying to make everything look “sporty”, they all look smooshed.

I tried.

That 1MZ was notorious for sludge build up problems on the 1st gen Sienna. Maybe the engine was struggling and the owner was pissed Toyota wouldn’t fix it for free.

A lot of municipalities have the 80th percentile rule.

Surprised these Canadians couldn’t handle this.

The biggest fail of the NA Metris is the following...

Clearly they needed a Tesla for this one.

Tall roof will mean headroom will be spectacular.

The Metris is the closest thing we have to a narrow minivan. Unfortunately it’s sold in commercial spec.

Birds of feather...

Any word on how reliable the 9 speed is? Is this the ZF?

Probably in the mid 400s before the transmission turns to shrapnel.

Nothing like diesel clatter on a gasoline engine.
