Talk:Toyota Previa

message: The current information on a "4th Generation Estima" seems to be suspicious.  Anyone care to provide evidence for the outlandish features and distant time frame claimed by the author?  Thanks. Superchan7 (talk) 08:53, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  4th Generation? 

message: In Australia there was a Tarago not currently listed on this page.  Manufactured from about 1984 till 1990.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.203.209.164 (talk) 09:52, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I removed:
:It was an odd mid-engined rear wheel drive vehicle, replacing the simply-named Van. The Previa was criticized for its rounded "one-box" styling and low-output 2.4 L I4 engine, which was located under the driver's seat.
Saying it is 'odd' seems rather pov, and the engine is not under the driver's seat especially. If so it would be offset but in fact is in the middle. Lets hope we can add a more helpful description! Billlion 23:43, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: There's a 3.0L engine in the 2nd gen Toyota Estima Aeras(special version with body kits)in Malaysia.And there is also a new 3rd gen version of the estima. I think we should add the new info about the 3rd gen estima on this page and redirect the toyota estima page to this page. Tourqe 10:55, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It does seem somewhat odd, considering that they are basically the same vehicle.  I'll put up merge tags and see what people think.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 20:28, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  3rd gen Toyota Estima 

message: I removed "it was the evolution of the toyota van or van wagon " because it just sat there, exactly like that, at the end of the intro. Maybe, "It evolved from the Toyota van or station wagon" would go?--Airplaneman (talk) 19:36, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed 

message: The original name of the vehicle is Estima but that's only used in Japan. In the rest of the world it's called the Previa except in Australia where it's called the Tarago. Unfortunately in Australia, the name Tarago was also used on the Ace range.
Result? - Confusion.
Experts would know it as the Estima range but Joe Public might not. However, several versions only exist as Estimas, not as Previas so merging the two would produce a very complex article.
On balance I think it best they stay separate but cross linked.

replies: text: Since in English-speaking countries, the vehicle was primarily known as "Previa", it seems that would be the logical choice for a merger.  The other issues can be addressed through redirects and good, old-fashioned disambiguation.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 17:01, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The names Estima Emina and Estima Lucida are not only used in Japan, as there is a thriving import market in the UK.  It might be worth mentioning this to avoid the confusion described above.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Norman21 (talk • contribs) 16:16, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Under which title?

message: The article needs mentioning that since 2nd generation Estima/Previa is based on contemporary Camry platform.
Plus, Alphard is the closest Estima's relative, differing only externally in a more boxy body. North-American-specific Sienna shares the same platform. Bolkhov 08:11, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Regarding platforms and relatives 

message: Why is this under Toyota Previa? Where in the world is it still sold as the Previa? Everywhere I've seen it, it's the Estima (and in AUS, the Tarago). Ever since the Sienna's NA introduction, the Previa has vanished. Please tell me if I am wrong. Luigi6138 00:02, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Requested Move 

message: In the article: "This first generation Estima Hybrid used a single electric motor and a mechanical CVT in its transmission."
According to hybrid-vehicle.net: 'The Japanese Estima Hybrid uses a 2.4 liter, four-cylinder engine couple with front and rear electric motors driving the 4WD configuration. This four-wheel drive system has been dubbed E-Four, which regulates a rear-mounted, rear-wheel propelled electric motor and coordinates electric power distribution to all four wheels.' and 'The Toyota Estima Hybrid Minivan is the world's first hybrid minivan and first mass-produced hybrid 4-wheel drive vehicle.'  (For Toyota press release, see )

thread_title:  Second generation (2000-2005) 

message: We apparently have at least one editor who has decided that since "editorialistic" and "encyclopedic" both start with the same letter, that it's okay to confuse one with the other. I'm just going to tag it for now. I honestly don't know what else to do with it.Boomshadow talk contribs 16:44, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Terrible horn"? Really? 

message: I have removed reference to the "Toyota Canarado" as an alternative name for Asia-Pacific markets from the article. There does not appear to be evidence of this name, except for websites based on the actual en.wiki article and for parts websites offering Estima/Previa/Tarago/Canarado parts. For example, there are no images, news, reviews, used car listings, etc of this car available online.

That has too much testosterone for ease of comprehension. Priced low, or priced high? -- Hoary (talk) 00:10, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

message: There is a number of Toyota Estima sold in the caribbean and these are late gen 2013-15. It is not very common but is observed to be an attractive vehicle. There is an issue of acquiring replacment part at reasonable cost which hinders vehicle sale (Chenrycheif (talk) 13:44, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: They are probably grey market imports - which means that Toyota doesn't officially support them in your country. This is common to all grey market imports anywhere in the world.  Stepho  talk  22:11, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
