Toyota Alphard Royal Lounge: Hot or Not?

Our siblings at Autoblog have pics and details on the Toyota Alphard Royal Lounge, a vehicle with the exterior of a boxy minivan and an interior that is all leather and polished wood. It has video screens, fold-out power ottomans, tray tables and a refrigerator console for all your beverages. Basically it has a private jet-like feel but with a minivan's practicality and anonymity. At seven million yen (around $61,000) it's not quite in the Maybach's league but then again it probably isn't quite as speedy at the zero to sixty hop either.  Autoblog's readers were pretty split on whether this was incredibly cool or nothing special at all. At least it is available as a hybrid which is more than you can say for Maybach at this point.
