Toyota launches Wish 7-seat minivan

NAGOYA January 21, 2003; Japan Today reported that Toyota Motor Corp launched a new compact-class, seven-passenger vehicle, the Wish on Monday, which it says offers the interior comfort of a station wagon or minivan and the driving performance of a sedan.

The vehicle, designed on the theme "a wish comes true," will be available to Netz and Toyota Vista dealers nationwide at prices starting from 1,898,000 yen, which Toyota says is about 100,000 yen lower than Honda Motor Co's popular Stream minivan considering the equipment offered by the two vehicles.
