    I have a friend who's planning to sell their Gen 1 2002 Expedition and replace it with either an Alphard or a Town & Country. Kaso medyo naguguluhan siya kung alin sa 2 ang bibilhin, ayaw na niya ng SUV kasi a van fits their lifestyle better. Kung ako Alphard ang pipiliin ko coz wala akong bilib sa quality ng American made cars, the only thing that's going for the T&C is its 2.8 CRDI engine. Their choices are limited to the 2 vans mentioned, possibly, pwede rin siguro yung ma grey market vans like the Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey. Ok sana Grand Starex sa kanila pero sawa na sila doon (they have 3 within the family) at di nila gusto yung Carnival.

    If you don't mind the fuel bills, the Toyota Alphard 3.5 V6 is my pick.

    I think fuel bills is not much of an issue for my friend, considering the Alphard is going to replace a Gen 1 Expedition. Sa tingin ko mas matipid pa rin sa gas yung Alphard kesa sa Exped. My friend is also looking at the gray market Toyota Sienna, kasi medyo makitid daw yung 3rd row ng Alphard compared to the Sienna plus the Sienna's lower ground clearance would definitely help since its his parents are the one who's gonna use it eh medyo may edad na rin so mas madali ang ingress/egress for them.

    Kung Sienna is in the equation I like it more than the Asian looking Alphard. Sa mga mini vans I always liked the American design like the Sienna or the Town and Country.

    Ever considered the Carnival? It looks quite similar to the Chrysler, and its got a better engine- that is, with the grey market version sold by Hancars which you can get with the Sorento/Santa Fe's 197hp/436Nm 2.2R e-VGT engine.

    Ayaw ng friend ko ng Kia, I think they want something more exclusive, hence their choices.
