Well u can always call it a Luxury Van :)

Before the invention of the word MPV, the old term for it was Luxury Van. Toyota Estima was called a Luxury Van back in the late 80's to early 90's.

But I thot Nissan Serena has a nose? So if it has a nose, then naturally the engine should be in front rite? But I also not sure lah.. because I don't own one.

But according to the specs at www.star-motoring.com/research/specs.asp?id=33 , it is a front engine, rear drive ( FR )...wow.. that means it can be used for drifting.. cool!! :D

MPV = Multi Purpose Van

Van = No purpose

MPV = Multi Purpose Van

Van = No purpose

why u say so,i thought MPV is 4 fun,n using coil spring for its suspension,Van is for loading good,using leaf spring,leaf spring wont provide good ride,is it?

hehe well...MPV is for a more practical car for ppl..a van is used normally to load things and to transport ppl..comfort is not of an importance in a van.

let's say ur family wanna buy a car..your gonna choose between a MPV and a van!..dun tell me u gonna buy a van rite?ehhe

so..MPV is more of a practical car la..van is good!no doubt..but not practical!
