  1. No lie, there is to mini vans….I would not mind owning the latest model Sienna That I've seen in a nice goldish Bronze with factory rims that match the body color, Or the Kia Carville which technically kinda looks like an S.U.V mixed with a mini van!

  2. We just got a 2008 Honda odyssey EX two weeks ago for a very fair price. My mom had one we my brother and I were kids for many years. Now my wife needed one for her work at home daycare and with this kids taking our son to preschool during the day needed 4-5 car seats. And minivan does great at it. Just so practical and useful and spacious inside. It rides well super smooth. It is kinda of boring yeah but just so well for a 16 year old vehicle with 158k on it.

  4. Too expensive. Families now prefer smaller and cheaper cars. Families don't mind a cramped and cheaper to maintain vehicle.

    Higher gas prices also contribute to this new preference.
