    I assume yung Royal Lounge package is for Japan only or by special request. Same din sa wheels (for all export versions, I'm afraid 16 inches ang default. Special order for bigger rims)

    Pero at least nandito na yung 3.5 V6 model and for less than 3 million

    P.S.
    Anyways, anu kaya itsura ng HU ng navigation system? Parang sa Taiwan version ba ito?

    Its a big shame at di nila binago ang rims ng 3.5 Liter V6 variant.
    Why do you prefer the 3.5L version? It is meant to be chauffeur-driven and not owner-driven. So why need the extra power? The 2.4L version should save you on gas di ba?

    Their price are supposedly close with a difference of about (1x0,000). Bec. the 3.5 enjoys a tax break while the 2.4 doesn't. With that in mind, the 3.5 li is preferable.

    The 3.5 li V6 (2GR-FE) is the same engine found on the present Camry, which in US EPA testing got 23MPG, while the 2.4 li (2AZ-FE) got 24 MPG. Only 1 MPG difference. With such minor fuel efficiency deficiency (evidently since its a V6) but with a big power gain on the other hand, it is enough to justify getting the V6.

    The only reason why its chauffeur driven is bec. the people who can afford the Alphard have a full time driver(s) in their payroll.

    I know. No cheese for me. We still want a D4D diesel. But the main question is,

    MAY NAVI SYSTEM BA ANG GRAND STAREX? ABER?

    Hanapin nyo kung may navi system ang Grand Starex. The Alphard 3.5 has one.
    Errr. Bakit palaging pinag-lalaban ang Alphard sa Grand Starex? Hindi naman sila pareho ng category eh. Dapat MB Viano, VW Caravelle at Chrysler T&C ang tinatapat dyan.. Kaya nga may Hiace para kalabanin ang Starex diba..

    Yung gray market na Grand Starex CVX / HVX / Limousine meron Navi System. Dashboard integrated na rin. ;)

    Kanina may nakita pala akong black na Alphard, may plates na pero tingin ko hindi V6. Mas maganda pala yung black than White Pearl Mica. Hehe...

    Meh I won't buy one lalo na't 10 units per month lang ang allocation saatin at pahirapan kumuha. My neighbor ordered one but he backed out at nag Grand Starex Limo nalang sya.

    Kahit sa Taiwan at China eh same lang ang rims ng 2.4 Liter at 3.5 Liter V6..

    Town And Country ang tunay na katapat ng Alphard dito though advantage ng Town And Country ay yung CRDI variant nya...Wala namang Viano dito at Caravelle.

    Matagal nang phased out dahil sa di naging mabenta..Mas marami pa daw na nabentang MB Spritner kaysa dyan..

    Sa Taiwan ang kalaban ng Alphard ay yung VW Caravelle/Multivan na TDi.Though mas mabenta parin ang Previa na kilalang car ng mga politicians dun.

    Beige Metallic ang exclusive na color para sa Alphard 3.5 V6 sa local market.

    Same price range yung GS Limo sa Alphard. And medyo specialized yung Alphard coz of the rear seats, kaya kino-compare sa GS Limo na specialized yung interior.

    But yeah, iba nga yung 2. The Alphard does have the classier interior, but it does not have the GS Limo's space and other features. Apples to oranges... with the same price.
