Drey, that's in the works already... unfortunately the dealership doesn't even have cloth seat covers for it yet.
I didn't wanna sound overly bitchy about the beige interior, it's just a minor inconvenience really...

hehehe... at least you are enjoying a 2 year free maintenance right?

Hi Guys, thought I'd post pictures of the interior in this thread, since its more relevant. Exterior pics can be found here.

Passenger side airbag.

3rd row folded up.

2nd row seats.

No key hole for fuel cap door.

You open it with a lever under the driver's seat.

Engine bay under the front passenger seat. Still the same G16A.

Bonnet.

thanks for the pics linchong, I bought a black one as well...my unit looks almost exactly like yours...even down to the child seat...except for a few areas...

1. it's a left hand drive.
2. its a manual
3. non leather seats
4. no driver's armrest
5. captains chairs in the middle row

Right now I've managed to get some old seat covers from my previous vehicles to fit into the middle and rear seats, so it looks kinda like a mutt inside... it'll do for now...

Oh... forgot to say may center armrest pala ang A/T. Pics sir!

here are some pics of the interior of the apv typeII manual transmission.
the external pics look exactly like those posted by linchong earlier on this thread...

They didn't have floor mats or seat covers available yet, so i had to make do with leftover seat covers from my older vehicles and the wife didn't want the flooring to get dirty so the paper mats are still there.

congratulations sleepdoc and linchong!
very nice rides!

sleepdoc, why don't you also go for
beige leather seats? will look really
good, aside from the fact that it is
also a lot easier to clean. i think
linchong's apv came with beige
leather seats.

hi guys, the APV looks really promising.

Qustions
Does the Captain seat at 2nd row swivels or does a 180 degrees turn?
Or just moves forward backward?

Does it have arm rest?

Does this mean you access the third row thru the missing seat?

By the way the Steering wheel and the Gauge Panel looks exactly like the 05 above Jimnys'

maxb, the 2nd row captain's chairs have armrests on the inner sides of both chairs. you can access the rear seats by either the gap in the middle or by sliding the captain's chairs all the way forward. they do not swivel. ingress and egress from the last row is now a little more difficult than when the middle seats were tumble forward...
