Is the previa actually mid engine rear wheel drive? I'm going to google that, is the engine under the rear seats or something? Also, WTF?

Toyota went a little crazy in the 90's. I think they looked at the mr2, and thought, "you know, soccer moms would love this, but it's just not practical enough!" so they made the Previa mid engine rear wheel drive. Later, when America complained about it not having enough horses, they added the supercharger to bring it up to 160hp.
To replace the spark plugs, I had to remove the right hand seat. You're basically sitting on the engine, and the supercharger and exhaust make a hilarious whistle that sounds like a turbo. It helps that I have a 10" and a 12" in the back. The car is definitely a head turner, but not for the right reasons.
At one light, I look to my left and notice two guys in a Crossfire gawking at it. I promptly revved the engine.
