I think that Toyota/Lexus don't sell the LM or the Alphard in North America because there is not enough customer demand for this type of vehicle. They won't make the profit to justify selling this type of vehicle in Canada or the U.S.
Americans and Canadians drive SUVs if they need a vehicle for more passengers or extra storage.
Why spend so much money on an LM or Alphard that can be seen as a overpriced minivan when you can buy an SUV?
I think that in North America, the biggest perception of these mini vans are that their styling looks too basic as an everyday vehicle.

Doesn't pass crash regulations. The front overhang is quite short and in an event of a frontal impact, the engine/tranny will most likely hit the driver.
Also, the rear bumper might not have a proper crash bar either. That's usually how JDM cars get away with length limitations

i still dont understand it, the engineering is already DONE as they are selling this thing in the EU now. The EURO crash certifications are higher standards than north american ones, so if it passes euro tests, it'll pass north american ones too.
Yeah they gotta pay some $$$ to do the certs here, but id still think it would make more sense to do that than say put out a crazy ass niche GT car like my ratrolla and only sell like 1500 units a year GLOBALLY.
Id pick one up, and im sure a lot of people locally here would as well.

Those Alphards / Vellfires aren't the fun to drive around as everyday vehicles - they're really best enjoyed in the second row seats. I think they're also too small on our roads - the OG Alphards looked big in a tight city like Hong Kong, but they're like a 3/4-sized minivan next to other cars here. Quote:

But these days all you need to do is throw on a lift, A/Ts, cladding, and boom, profits.
TRD Pro that shit!

99% of the time I drive the Alphard by myself. The boat eats 40 cents of gas per km lol
by the way, my Mazda5 is better place to fuck than the Alphard, those captain seats suck.

The leg room isn't for the person sitting
It's for the person doing the sucking
