Or, she may thought why is the family (married) man in the minivan with his kids in the back gawking at me, cheating bastard.
Something like that.
We had a minivan (04 Odyssey) when our kids were little, served a purpose but realized a sedan would work just fine, especially one with awd. When the lease was up we went and got a 328xi, wife was much happier. Road noise on the minivans is awful on the highway since it's a big box echo chamber on wheels.
We decided on another NON WHIP and actually went with both @sam_spider & @WestSideBilly 's lease option I think it will be a good dealio I'll show ya'll soon as I can get a to load up as my phone & computer are being weird right now
Liked the new Blazer BB but C-6 was reluctant to go that much $$$
I also liked the 2 smaller ones Trailblazer & Trax but felt maybe a lil too small inside

I’m not a truck or suv guy at all but I do like the looks of the newer blazers.
I'm the President of the Minivans are Awesome club.
People buy $50k SUVs. I point out they could have bought a minivan that has more room, more gadgets, rides better, gets better mileage, has lower insurance costs, and is $5-10k cheaper.
"Yeah but minivans are lame."
"You're a happily married 45 year old father of 3, other people* thinking you're lame should not be the basis for a car buying decision."
* specifically, single 20-somethings
I’m the VP of this club. A minivan is so much better than an SUV. My Chevy Astro could hold more crap in it than any SUV. Loved that Astro.

They are so versatile, you can get a full sheet of plywood in a minivan and it stays covered and dry, so better than a pick-up truck IMO. We don't own one anymore but when we did they were so damn practical. We don't do road trips anymore but they were the best for family road trips. My mother's Chrysler minivan was bullet proof as far as the engine went, I think she put 200,000 miles on it and the last 100,000 she didn't even change the oil, the thing never broke down and the motor drove as good as new when she finally got rid of it (rust was the main issue but the vehicle didn't owe her a penny when she got rid of it)
If you look back at my long list of vehicles we too had a minivan and I loved it, it at the time was due to the 3 's but it was a newly released Ford Aerostar
many a dripping bottles hit that carpet
Also forgot to add the Trucks we've owned, 1. Toyota 2 in the 70s a Honda Ridgeline that was great , an inherited Ford lightning and the current Ram w / full size back seat
LOVE having a truck and considered just giving in the 2015 Ram with 140K on it and just having a nice new truck
but didn't go that route fitting into our garage was also a consideration
