The first Nissan Roox is an OEM version of the Suzuki Palette, released on 1 December 2009 after being shown at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show; the Roox Highway Star is the rebadged Palette SW. It is a tall kei car with twin rear sliding doors and Suzuki's 658 cc K6A DOHC VVT three-cylinder, naturally aspirated or turbocharged. It was discontinued when the Palette ended in 2013, replaced by the Nissan Dayz Roox developed with Mitsubishi; the Roox name returned in 2020 on a different, eK Space-based car.

This Presage minivan shares its underlying platform with the Teana sedan and the North American Murano crossover — one architecture doing three very different jobs.
Subaru's family-hauling Exiga got an unlikely STi treatment in 2009 — front spoiler, sport muffler, tighter suspension and a leather Momo wheel — but only 300 were ever built.
YRV stands for Young Recreational Vehicle, a mini MPV built to out-handle its own segment rivals.
The Terraza was Buick's first-ever minivan for the North American market - a badge-engineered cousin of the Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac Montana SV6, and Saturn Relay.
The restyled 1994 Lumina Minivan quietly made American automotive history: it was the first minivan sold in the US with a power sliding door you could open by remote.
The first-generation Lumina APV minivan was nicknamed the "Dustbuster" by the press for its sharply sloped windshield, which pushed the dashboard far forward of the driver.
Its steeply sloped windshield gave the Lumina APV one of the deepest dashboards ever fitted to a mass-produced car.
The first Presage wasn't really its own car underneath — most of its parts came straight from the Nissan R'nessa, with more shared with its platform twin, the Bassara.
