FactToyota named this minivan after the Greek goddess of the Earth and sold it only through Toyopet dealers.
The Toyota Gaia is a Japanese-market compact MPV produced from May 1998 to September 2004, a sister of the Ipsum and Nadia sharing a platform with the Corona Premio and Caldina, sold only at Toyopet Store dealerships and named for the Greek goddess personifying the Earth; it competed with the Nissan Prairie, Mitsubishi Chariot and Honda Odyssey and was replaced by the Isis. Sales began on 29 May 1998 with optional four-wheel drive and a choice of the 3S-FE gasoline or 3C-TE diesel (front-drive only), all with a column-shifted 4-speed automatic. An April 2001 facelift replaced the 3S-FE in front-drive cars with the direct-injected 1AZ-FSE (August 2002 in 4WD models), a "Limited Navi Special" trim with a DVD-based navigation system (a precursor to G-Book) followed in October 2001, and an "S-Edition" trim in August 2002.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
Cooling the C6 RS6’s twin-turbo V10 took seven separate radiators and four electric fans under the bonnet.
The original RS6 debuted Audi's clever hydraulic Dynamic Ride Control suspension — and enough owners got tired of its leaking dampers that they ripped the whole system out for plain coilovers.
The C7-generation RS6 Avant never officially reached America at all — buyers there got the RS7 Sportback instead, running the exact same engine and platform in a different body.
For a few years, this Outback's six-cylinder trim came with genuine McIntosh audio — the same esteemed hi-fi name found in home theaters, one of the only cars ever to get it from the factory.
Subaru didn't have the budget for an all-new SUV, so it dressed up a Legacy wagon instead. A Subaru of America executive later put it bluntly: "[the Outback] saved our company."
The new Outback's full-width tail light bar has a 2 ft ruler built in, for measuring whatever you are about to load.
This Outback shared Top Gear's Car of the Year crown — an unusual honor for a jacked-up wagon to split with the Ford Mondeo in 2007.
A wagon beat the SUVs at their own game: this Outback generation won Motor Trend's Sport/Utility of the Year award for 2010.
