Why can't we have them in US?

Or even the "basic" Toyota Vellfire...

They could equip the Sienna in similar fashion, they don’t need to bring another model over here. The minivan segment is almost dead anyways.
I hope there is an airlock on the commode door.
A lot of times I believe they are diesels as well. If diesel costed less than regular I would consider one in a Tahoe. But since that’s wishful thinking I’m a L87 fan. I do wish the L87 ran on regular but I’m getting really nit picky. If those vans were available here, I’d not be a buyer and I don’t know anyone who would be…
This, on the other hand, I like

I remember seeing those little RV's in the 80's. Tiny truck with a camper on it, dual rear wheels and all but they had axle issues and were severely underpowered and thus had lots of mechanical issues.
I would absolutely buy that van! I know the mini van market is soft in the USA right now but I have a feeling these "bougie" loaded up limo vans would sell. They would be a perfect alternative to an Escalade if you didn't need the towing and I bet limo and airport companies could make a good use of them as well.
It's like a "hold my beer" moment on the Lexus LX.
More like hold my sake

The mini bathroom has me sold already.
Knowing Toyota the toilet and associated plumbing will work perfectly unlike most RV hack jobs out there.

That seems logical, but the reality seems to be something different. My Lexus dealer tells me he wishes Lexus would send them 100 hybrids a month instead of ICE. And if Lexus would make a 300 mile range EV, he couldn't keep them in inventory.
Hideous!
Give me a Marco Polo anytime over that monstrosity.
Cafe maybe? Safety? Who knows.
The euro market has a lot of these vans type things as well. I have looked and there pretty expensive. Westfalia did a conversion with the Eurovan like 20 years ago and sold almost none. I think there worth more now than when they were new?
My guess is the majority of folks with that kind of cash who want an RV in the US want a 800 square foot RV / 5th wheel type setup.

I’ve rent these vans, never got a Toyota though in a normal trim level when I travel to EU and they are not that great. Probably because most of them are made for commercial use, not personal use.
At least there is a nice space to spend time if it breaks down.
