the TOYOTA Sienna Woodland Edition 4TRAC® AWD + 1.0 in. Lift 2.5 i-HYBRID I4 5-Dr Minivan (LHD) could do with a 1.0 in. suspension lift & 55 - 60 profile tyres . . . only if the TOYOTA Sienna Woodland Edition 4TRAC® AWD + 1.0 in. Lift 2.5 i-HYBRID I4 5-Dr Minivan (LHD) was available in RHD . . . the global automobile market is no longer bifurcated as it used to be . . . platform sharing concept in the automotive industry is changing the very perception of automobile design & manufacturing techniques . . . leaf spring rear suspension in the near futuristic HYUNDAI Staria AWD + 0.5 in. Lift 2.2 TDI I4 5-Dr Minivan (RHD) don't make sense . . . got to be good reason as to why HYUNDAI engineers opted for the archaic leaf suspension at the rear . . .
