Thumbs down

Nothing personal here but I can't stand those damn mini vans. Especially those older Chrysler vans that smoke and stink to high heaven..

I do agree most minivans do suck. But the Reanult Espace is awesome!! I'm also starting to like the 2002 Doidge Caravan.

Oh man, that sucks so bad when you get behind a old minivan that stnks, I hate it so much. I want to run them off the road it bugs me so bad. (I mean, I don't want to kill anybody, or even hurt them, just bust up their ride)

I don't like them either, too many people have them and they have like no performance or exoticness except, of course for Bertone's V12 4 passenger Minivan! Ya!

No wonder they don't have performance or exoticness, they were made to haul people around.

Ya, so why dosen't BMW make a Mini-van, I know some people would hate this but think. BMW made an SAV to stay competitive so, where's the BMW 4 series? I thin that there would be a fiarly large market for Luxury Minivans. Most people have 3 kids and not 5+ so a normal mini-van with all the performance and luxury of a bimmer. I just hope Porsche dosen't do that though.

So far in my life I've liked 4 minivans:

Bertone V12 4-passenger (Lambo engine, yay!)
Renault Espace F1
Seat Alhambra 6-speed manual
Locally owned Toyota Previa

The guy that owns the Previa is right into rally and SCCA style racing...growing family forced him to get a minivan. So he got a 5-speed, rear drive Previa with tinted windows all around, 18 inch chrome 5-spokers, and 18 inch Goodyear ZR rated tires

It's obvious that they have no performance or exoticness because they are NOT meant to be that way. Then again you don't pay for performance or exoticness althought some vans give you decent performance like the 2002 Caravan. The market minivans target are the family segment in which moms or dads buy these things for hauling their kids around!
