[garbage]

This one was a complete piece of poop. But it was for real; the turbo was still whistling.

Sure your not speaking of the 1993-94 Toyota previa SC? not that old but I'm sure if it was in pretty shady condition it would suffice.

Oh yeah, the Previa! Man those things were cool. RWD and midengined, too bad theyre safety rating sucked ass.

The Previa was mid-engined? Whoa!

...until you had to fix it. Previas have some of the highest maintenece anywhere, and the SC makes it worse.
Neat van, but it was not popular for a reason.

We still have our Previa. It still runs great like it did when we bought it 10 years ago. Except for the air conditioning that is the most reliable car i think i've ever owned.

And that reason was money! In 1994, an LE SC with dual sunroofs and a few other options was over $35k. And that was without the optional AWD! They were hella expensive.

Is that the only SC minivan in North America?
Because about 8 months ago, I heard a loud SC whine, looked over, and saw a minivan stopping. Was pretty funny, but it sounded awesome.

Re: I saw a TurboVan! (matt007)

You can get an SC from TRD to put on your Sienna. Was it a Sienna?

Re: I saw a TurboVan! (RJetta8V)

Nope.

Re: I saw a TurboVan! (matt007)

I can't believe you dont know what it was.

Re: I saw a TurboVan! (RJetta8V)

I just dug it out of the deep recesses of my memory

I can't remember what it was, but I know it was at least 2 or 3 years old.
