Looks more like an Expedition to me.  I'd think they'd go for the larger
vehicle to have more space for their toys.

When I posted the link to the associated article last week, I thought the
thing was, well, a VAN.

That's a Ford Exhibitionist or similar Sport fUtility Vehicle.

Odd that they should call it a van.

Click the link above to see it and the description is below

Johnson Controls Inc displays its Lego InMotion van designed by JCI • senior
designer Lance Larsen. Johnson Controls showed the vehicle only to the • press
because they about how to keep the kids out of it. InMotion looks like a
child's toy come to life. Its cupholders are patterned after the chunky
yellow "hands" on the tiny Lego action figures. The second-row seats • have
swiveling tray tables made out of the gray bases that kids use to build • Lego
buildings and cities. Even the caps on the tire valve stems are made out • of
Lego blocks. There is a rear-seat entertainment system with a removable • DVD
with a Go Pad, a hand-held device that can control the DVD player, • provide
Internet access and display images from a digital camera. There is an
intercom system that makes it easier for front passengers to talk to • rear
passengers via microphones and the vehicle's audio system. Also, this is • one
of the first concepts to come with a paper-towel dispenser.

This was shown at the Detroit 2001Autoshow

i think they are actually offering the interior. From what I have read, no one company has picked it up yet. So they are just showing it in an SUV as an example. It could be put in a van, SUV, minivan, stationwagon, etc. "Adrian Drake" (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) Having lots of Lego in it, though, does that make it a Ford Explorien? -JDF (24 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)
