zeitgeist57 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Just another perfectly timed (and positioned) vehicle to help Ford gain more sales. As a GM owner I give Ford a LOT of credit for what they've been doing as a business over the last 3-5 years. With 90% of our state's economy being propped up by small businesses, I'd imagine that this will sell well, and help people transport goods a LOT cheaper than through the normal Econoline/GM Van/Sprinter route...

I saw no official news release, just saw one on the lot. They need to quit keeping it a secret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourString Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I always wanted a Kenstyle Estima(previa in US) http://www.kenstyle.co.jp/international/carimage/TOYOTA/ESTIMA/U_ESTIMA.jpg I would drive the shit out of that.

CRed05 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I always wondered why those types of vehicles were never sold here. They are very popular outside of the US. Toyota Previa = worst piece of shit car ever. Most people know not to buy electric superchargers on ebay, retard toyota puts it on an ugly ass production car. Ever try changing the oil in one of those? DUMB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I remember it was underneath the hood, right in the middle. Looked like a plastic compressor. Not a MAF sensor, a MAP sensor. Some call them "mousetraps". It was an electronic variation of of Bosch's ol mechanical Jetronic fuel injection air metering. http://www.familycar.com/store/images/prodimage/thumbs/WORLDPAC/W01331750721FIC.JPG maybe, i dunno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a previa in the stable, approaching 400,000 original everything. Starter is starting to get a little fussy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
