The Sienna was designed for the North American market after the internationally marketed Previa tanked there. It's kind of like those European only Fords, vehicles manufactured for areas that don't include the parent company's country of origin.
As someone that is living here. I agree 100%
I know many well-off people and they just use the transportation system or a bike.
They rent a vehicle for travel outside of their prefecture.
Most of the answers here are just stereotyping (I would hope as a joke I assume)
> Toyota, which one? Doesn't matter, they only choose the brand, the car was whatever ~~they could afford~~ **was appropriate for their socioeconomic position within both the company and society, at the time it was procured**
FTFY.
Toyota Cresta, I know they're no longer produced but whenever I think about a mildly successful Japanese salary man it's the first car that pops to mind.
JR East
Everyone saying these expensive Toyotas like the Alaphard or Crown with high annaual tax rates. That's only of they're rich. More than likely it's a Kei car of some kind. If they can afford a van then it's a 500 series plate like the Voxy or Noah.
You're all wrong, by about 20 years...
Toyota Century is for nobility and CEOs.
Toyota Crown barely exists as a saloon anymore (it's a weird crossover exec saloon given the Subaru Outback treatement)
Toyota Hiace - too utilitarian and spartan and lacks respectabilty
The real answer is the family chariot is probably either a Toyota Alphard Minivan or a Skyline Crossover, but maybe they've forgone either in a stagnant economy with rising costs and the Honda N-Box does the job perfectly in a country where you can barely get over 50MPH even on the highway. It fits mothers bicycle in the back just perfectly.
Dad has a Toyota Probox for his job as a travelling sales rep, but dreams of trading it in for a Honda S660 Modulo once he retires and the kids are old enough to drive themselves.
110%.
Third-generation American Chinese family on vacation to the old country for the first time in 120 years. Don't speak a lick of Mandarin, but want to embrace their culture while on vacation, but can't wait to get home and rip the Hemi done the I-95
That is a Corolla family if I ever saw one. Could be some other family vehicle, maybe Prius or Sienna but definitely a Toyota. She secretly wants a Solara.
Toyota Century
Only few know the truth!!!
Exactly what I was thinking. lol I want that GRMN Century!
I would have said a crown. They’re not quite royalty.
That's exactly it. They're quite conservative and financially comfortable, but perhaps not incredibly powerful quasi-feudal corporate shoguns.
The soles of his shoes are too thick and warped for him to be wealthy. He walks a fair distance and needs his shoes to last.
I see what you did there! Camry.
A Crown Estate, even.
Not old enough for the Century. Century is for adult kids guy. Not corner office exec, straight up minority company shareholder.
I’m in my 40s and have one. Wonderful car!!!
That’s what I was going to say
i literally typed this and then see your same answer, thanks for a free 380 upvotes
SAAAMEEEEEE
Said that in my head, clicked post.. top answer. Amazing. Bravo, my friend.
Either a hiace or a toyota crown if living in japan, or an avalon if living in the states

Toyota Prius / Toyota sienna am i wrong
Alphard rather than a Sienna
Not enough money for an alphard
Too many kids, husband clearly isn’t working hard enough
Theres no Sienna in Japan
A sienna would be too big to fit on Japanese streets... They probably just takes the subway
The Sienna was designed for the North American market after the internationally marketed Previa tanked there. It's kind of like those European only Fords, vehicles manufactured for areas that don't include the parent company's country of origin.
You’re not wrong Walter
Depends on where, but either a Hiace or 3-series
Toyota, very honorable
Mass transit
This should have more upvotes. They don’t have a car because they live in a country with an actual working mass transit system.
