I think that Toyota/Lexus don't sell the LM or the Alphard in North America because there is not enough customer demand for this type of vehicle. They won't make the profit to justify selling this type of vehicle in Canada or the U.S.

Americans and Canadians drive SUVs if they need a vehicle for more passengers or extra storage.

Why spend so much money on an LM or Alphard that can be seen as a overpriced minivan when you can buy an SUV?

I think that in North America, the biggest perception of these mini vans are that their styling looks too basic as an everyday vehicle.
