Full size luxury SUV. The model for North America, created in 2004, is over 5 meters in length and about 2 meters in width. Of course, the three-row, eight-seater car is spacious and enjoyable with friends. The engine is a 5.6-liter V8, making the huge body run lightly. I want to enjoy the Gifu drive with the V8 sound unique to American cars.
