Well it's been around for awhile now, and beyond size there were other aspects not quite up to snuff. Also, the GFX package looks good on it but it's always been a bit rolly-polly and narrow-but-tall. The new redesigned one looks very sharp, with loads of nifty features, and would be in the game once again as far as I'm seeing it.
Anyhow, don't see many people crying over this except me. Always thought the MPV was a unique vehicle, and it's the pioneering Japanese minivan. Previa, Sienna, Odyssey, Quest, etc all came after. In the early '90's it was quite sucessful.
