The minivan was a godsend to a family with 6 kids. These new ones are luxurious, are much sleeker than brick-like SUV's, and certainly aren't pretentious like SUV's and the mindset of those driving them (who could just use a minivan). Minivans are great, and if I have more than 3 kids someday (don't plan on it), I'd love to get one.

I have a feeling that people who hate minivans have never had one. Or if they have, they are so concerned with image and looking cool to their neighbors that they "have" to have an over-the-top SUV.]]>May 9th 2008 12:54PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/09/future-classic-1984-chrysler-minivans/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/09/future-classic-1984-chrysler-minivans/May 9th 2008 1:00PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/09/future-classic-1984-chrysler-minivans/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/09/future-classic-1984-chrysler-minivans/says the man without a kid.

yes, you can do without but there is a benefit to having the minivan even with one kid, over a sedan or compact SUV. just the ability to walk/crawl through the van to tend to a child, or reach back unencumbered, is a benefit. If its raining, the mother and kid can go in the side and mom scoots up front.

noah has it right
You cant beat the utility of the minivan.


and the number of couples that stop at 1 kid are a minority. ]]>May 9th 2008 1:25PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/09/future-classic-1984-chrysler-minivans/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/09/future-classic-1984-chrysler-minivans/May 9th 2008 1:50PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/09/future-classic-1984-chrysler-minivans/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/09/future-classic-1984-chrysler-minivans/
And that one kid has friends, soccer teams, scout troops, etc. Not to mention space for all his crap to keep him quiet on long trips.

Even with one kid the mini has its use.]]>May 9th 2008 2:20PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/09/future-classic-1984-chrysler-minivans/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/09/future-classic-1984-chrysler-minivans/May 9th 2008 2:47PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/09/future-classic-1984-chrysler-minivans/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/09/future-classic-1984-chrysler-minivans/May 9th 2008 2:55PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/09/future-classic-1984-chrysler-minivans/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/09/future-classic-1984-chrysler-minivans/May 9th 2008 3:42PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/09/future-classic-1984-chrysler-minivans/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/09/future-classic-1984-chrysler-minivans/
I'm a huge fan, there's no other vehicle that can do all a minivan can do for the price and with the MPG a van gets. Fashionable? Nope, but immensely practical.

Our family van history: Dad's had a '72 Chevy window van, '74 Dodge Maxi van TEC camper, '88 Grand Caravan, '97 Grand Caravan and now '07 Town & Country. I've had just the two - so far. My sister has an '01 Odyssey and Dad's old '97 (They have 5 kids).]]>May 10th 2008 12:00AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/09/future-classic-1984-chrysler-minivans/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/09/future-classic-1984-chrysler-minivans/May 9th 2008 12:35PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/09/future-classic-1984-chrysler-minivans/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/09/future-classic-1984-chrysler-minivans/Just because all of them have rotted away does not make this thing a classic.

Rare, Beautiful, Unique.
