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.

But these days all you need to do is throw on a lift, A/Ts, cladding, and boom, profits.
TRD Pro that shit!
