But if you prefer gas, and considering how cheap gas is currently, then the E150 would be a good choice as well given its price. Powerful engine too.
Alphard is surely a better buy vs E150 but it's true that it's kind of expensive for what it is.

The Honda Odyssey is actually a good buy at around 2.5M plus you don't need to fold the 3rd row seats to accommodate up to 4 big luggage sets unlike the Alphard.

Or wait for the all new Kia Carnival in diesel if not in a hurry although I'm unsure with Kia after sales these days.
