Small SUVs like the Element and CRVs are better alternatives to minivans, if you can deal with less passenger carrying capacity.

 

Previas from 1991-1997 were offered in AWD.
My '95 is RWD though

 

RWD, drift the van!!!!!

 

4.4i X5 with M and sport packages for me.

 

Don't know why there's so much hate for SUV's My old MDX and new Pilot gets the same gas milage as my cousin's Odyssey :shrugs:

And you want to hate on size, my Pilot is smaller than an S class Benz or 7 series Bimmer

 

A very nice vehicle but for many, like myself, there simply isn't enough utility. We looked at one and I couldn't even put the dog crate in the back without folding down seats.

 

We drive an enormous SUV so I certainly don't hate on them but...

The point is that the current Honda minivan has something like 140 cubic feet of storage space behind the rear seats whereas a Pilot has less than 90. That's a huge difference is you say that you need a vehicle for carrying passengers, etc.

Never mind the arguably better driving dynamics, etc.

As I said earlier in this thread, I would very happily drive a minivan but the wife simply won't have it.

 

You couldn't PAY me to drive a Minivan around.

I rock this bad bitch:

 

Minivans= sliding doors
SUVs= big hinged doors

More SUV lovers/drivers=More door dings from their careless 5 yr old kids.

Seems to me like car enthusiasts need to change their message to others, for their cars sake.

It is impossible for me to ding your door with my minivan, even if i tried. I would hit you with my side mirrors first.
