Heh, yea It's mid-engined and RWD, engine is an inline4 laying flat with the head under the passenger seat, trannt under the floor in the middle and a short driveshaft back to the solid rear axle, with 4-link and a panhard rod.

Back when it came out it was marketed as the sportscar of minivans. It has 50/50 weight distribution and a very low center of gravity considering how tall it is, plus it looked like 10 years ahead of anything back then except maaaybe the Pontiac Silhouette which has aged terribly while the Previa IMO still looks like the super future van, lol.

I even like the silly starship enterprise-esque interior, haha. Yea, I'm a dork.



BTW, those kits in the pics have a good 5 inches worth of skirts making the van LOOk lower, but I plan to drop mine so it's actually damn near laying frame . Will involve new wheel arches moved higher up the sides. Check out the comparisons.





Oh, PLUS wide ass flares!!

But nice pics regardless.
