Yea I don't get the hate for minivans either. All LC200 enthusiasts can certainly appreciate the purpose built design of the 200, and the focused design mission of a minivan is of the same vien. They serve a purpose just as a 200 service its purpose.
I would rather get a minivan than a highlander. Highlanders suck at everything. Minivans are incredible at doing what it was designed to do... practically haul people, carry lots of stuff, awesome sliding door.
