Can anybody explain to me why Toyota has so many MPVs?How do Townace models compete in this congested market competing against its Estima cousin?Why go for an Estimawhen the Townaceis far more spacious? - (#63) Gwyn Wilde, 8 Apr 01

Dunno. It's a subjective question. The Estima probably looks more "modern", more aerodynamic, faster and competes in the market place better with the competition such as the Galaxy and Espace. I guess you would have to get the real answer from Toyota. I remember having a SpaceCruiser at the time of the launch of the Previa (1990 I think), I was disappointed to think that I was being forced into having to upgrade to a bubble with little more room than an estate car. Then in later years I saw the Townace and it's given me the perfect upgrade path to the SpaceCruiser (well almost perfect!). - (#64) Ian Dunse, 9 Apr 01
