Personally, I've always thought minivans were very luxurious. Power tailgates, power doors, underfloor storage, adjustable second and third row seats, etc., but they're extremely ugly. I think that they should take the interior and all of the features of a minivan and put it in an SUV. That's just my opinion.

i FULLY AGREE!

there's an adage: "It's far more fun pushing a slow car to go fast, than just loping along in a fast car."

it's also great fun driving WITH SKILL and embarrassing drivers of 'faster' vehicles with little "giant killers," modified OR stock.

i manage to do this on 2 wheels and 4. have not been beat by ANYTHING yet, when on my kawasaki ninja with ALL OF 0.25 liters of motor!
have also managed to surprise many, driving sis-in-law's old buick leSabre!

(i also get to enjoy a HUGE purchase and operating cost ADVANTAGE. and did i mention the FUN advantage?)

Just an observation -- quite a few minivan drivers tend to have kids and appear too tired to even enjoy driving , much less test its limits .

@I95SPEEDINGTICKETS
This report is about minivan with diesel engine which are not available in North America. In North America, only big V6s are available. In the hand of a proper driver, they can hussle. I remember reading about Dan Gurney enjoying renting minivans and racing them against sports coupe. He was saying how much he enjoyed flogging them arround.

Nothing wrong with a minivan. They are very practical and quite useful for hauling stuff besides kids. Effective PR by the SUV manufacturers have brainwashed people into thinking they need an SUV and minivans are not cool. I gave in to my wife, sold ours, and bought her a Grand Cherokee. Miss the room in the van and the gas mileage. If they added some horsepower and sportier handling, I'd take one over a SUV any day and maybe even my car.
