The problem with minivans is that people think they need one as soon as they have one kid. Whereas, realistically, if you don't have 4 kids or more, you don't need one. But then, people rarely buy what they need, they just go with what the advertisement people want them to need.

Minivans are useful even when you have 2 kids...try stuffing 2 kids with car seats, 2 weeks worth of clothes and toys for a roadtrip, and a good sized dog into a small or mid-sized SUV (forget trying it with a mid or large sedan).
What is nice about a minivan is that you get a ton of room, decent gas mileage, and a comfy ride for half the price of a luxury SUV.
