If it was a Toyota it wouldn't have knobs and the switches would
never fail or break anyway. Google Toyota Estima 2006...

Why do they call them minivans in the US? They're not vans at all.
Even the front-engined Estima is not a van, though it is based on and
shares the type number with the current front-engined Liteace van.

Not in the US, that is... Google Hiace 4WD, 1986-present.
