Wow, I kinda like it though it is no match for the Eurovan 996.

Hey rear wheel drive, Supercharged mid engine why the hell not? At least it's diffrent and not another Tureno or Silva...

I heart the Previa - it's the only mid-engined car my mom would consider driving.

And, if it's got wheels, it's worth drifting (I don't know if shopping carts count, but any time I go for groceries, I'm trying to overpower the back wheels).

Again no hat tip to tipster (Self-Hating Kotaku)?

Wow, Juno went berserk.

In case you haven't seen it,

+ Watch video

@Al Navarro: I didn't see that there, I got it off of JPCN.

LOOK OUT FOR THAT JELLYBEAN!!!!!!!!!!!

@Matt Hardigree:
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt Hardigree...guess you can't read every comment on every post every day...(I certainly don't. Nearly wrote "In a van down by the river" in a comment for that "what vehicle would you live in" QOTD.

As you were.

Yeah, wheres my hat tip??? I expect a Jalop-o-star for this outrage!

And for the protection of the driver it comes with a sushi bar

awesome. awesome. awesome!

how about an 80s Toyota Van off-roading video? Those things can do some crazy things!

a carbon fiber(esque) hood? even if it was real, the hoodon that thing is miniscule. it'd make zero difference. still love a previa though. sideways engine, long shafts running the drive belts. total mishigas that thing is.

why o why do they need to paint their bonnets mat black, just how much low level sun can they have in the land of the rising sun???

it's like the overweight kid who hangs out with all the skateboarders who has to try 10 times as hard to land anything.

Much like other cultural abominations this sport makes more sense in it's natural context. It falls apart when white kids get involved. Those bastards ruin everything.

@mytdawg: That's racist!

@rkwadd: don't pretend you weren't thinking it too.

@rkwadd: But I say it as an ex-white kid so it cancels itself out...

I'm now mauve.

Its a mid engined supervan!

Sideways-sliding boxes (and jellybeans) for the win.

All those times I've said, "It's mid-engined! It's practically a Formula 1 car!" finally pay off! Someone was listening! :D

That was pretty bad-ass I must say...

@mytdawg: But I say it as an ex-white kid so it cancels itself out... it's like you've taken a class or something... wow. Sup mah honkie!

@JoSCh: Why hello, you other white type cracker person... I actually live in a quite urban setting, no McMansions or soccer moms in my neighborhood. My house is 100 years old etc. We killed them and ate them. We do have a trial lawyer but he's like the local shark, you just leave him the hell alone. Me and one of my neighbors used to yell that back and forth across the street. White people have a strange sense of humor.

At least it's RWD...it's not like they're trying anything silly like drag race a civic...or make a non-AWD unicyle.

Jeebus. That looks like a fat man running to the head of the buffet line right after they mopped the floor. They must have got the idea from an old Laurel and Hardy movie.

RWD, mid-engined, and SUPERCHARGED, you people are forgetting. Of all the minivans a 16 year old boy could be forced to drive by his parents, this is the best. And it had Chrysler's "swivel n' go" seating back in 1991.

There was something very Homer Simpsonian about the way that fat van was lurching along.

This reminds me of when I first got my license and was presented the keys to the family's Pontiac Trans Sport. Whenever it snowed we would take it to the parking lot of the Kmart that closed and e-brake that sucker. There would usually be a couple kids in a Mustang or Camaro that were already drifting there, and they would book it as soon as they saw what they assumed was a soccer mom. They always came back a few minutes later and were utterly astonished to see a minivan sideways, but they got over it and joined back in. Good times.

@mwood10: I don't think people watch fifth gear. the only time it's heard of is when people say how much it sucks.

Wow thats my dad work car, i drift it in the snow like none other but i didnt realize you could go so much further

I thought this was cool until I wrecked Mom's new '78 Monte Carlo on a dirt road leaving the high school parking lot in front of an audience of my peers. North Florida, 1979. Drifting wasn't hip yet. Especially when the ass end of our new Chevy was sticking up out of a drainage ditch after a serious overcorrection. Cop didn't write me a ticket, said I was already in enough trouble. He was right.

I now have something to do with my 01' Honda Odyssey...
