Toyota FT-MV Concept

The FT-MV makes its presence felt as a first-class, new-generation minivan.

• Boasts a bold, vibrant and stately exterior.
• Includes luxurious, second-row seats with fully automatic ottomans, using soft ambient lighting to create an elegant space.

wow....?

Jesus...

There are some UGLY concepts coming out of Tokyo. The only one I have remotely liked so far is that Nissan FWD car.

This is a near-production concept for the next Japanese-market luxury van (Alphard). Nissan had their concept in 2005. More photos at AutoReport.

It the next Alphard

Toyota FT-MV to the next alphard

The interior is very nice. I like it. Except they put the steering wheel on the wrong side, those silly Japanese!

The profile is nice for a minivan (after all, how many sleek shapes can you make out of a bread box?), but I don't like Toyota's recent styling trend on the noses of their vehicles. Too Mazdaish and Mazda does it better, IMO.

Looks very european, in a Renault, Citroen sort of way. With a little Mercedes Sprinter thrown in.

THE AEROSTAR LIVES!

It has some Aerostar in, actually I kind of like it.

Some really good lines on this, too bad that they are ruined by the really bad ones. That prow of a nose is horrible, and the lower flanks are typical bloated Toyota.

Even for a minivan it is goofy looking.

Kind of reminds me of a cowfish.

THE AEROSTAR LIVES!

lol, sad but true.

:rotflmao:

why does the rear wheel look smaller than the front one?

this thing is hilariously ugly... anyway... back to what i was originally doing...

The fat butt makes it look like it is at full GVWR with no passengers. And yes, the side window treatment looks exactly like the late, unlamented Ford Aerostar.

The current Sienna looks 100 times better and thats not saying much.

Does this have anything to do with the new Sienna?

I sure hope so, people will stay away in droves. . .

wow. this is just extreme ugly. some of the interior is ok, but mano, that outside is criminally bad.

They just keep getting fatter, blander, plainer and uglier at the same time. Amazing that Toyota is such a success in NA.

"The Power Luxury" - better or worse than "Pontiac is Car"?

Discuss.

Grotesque. Schizophrenic: each styling element is off a different vehicle. None of it makes any clear sense.

I hope & pray toyo brings it here exactly as is.

It's kind of cool..would make a nice Lexus minivan here....who knows, maybe the luxury minivan market will take off here in the post-SUV era..

That interior looks awesome. It's like a more compact conversion van... from the factory.

Oh don;t worry... it will be uglier still and it will sell like crack in the hood.

Dear God I hope not... but if it DOES I hope Honda makes an odyssey

with a heart shaped rear window. The fact that they use '60s hippie

& van culture images coupled with Heart's "Barracuda" disgusts me.
