Minivans
(credit: upload.wikimedia.org)
Some minivans are great. Take the Chrysler Town and Country. It has a big 3.3 liter V6, lots of space, and a nice interior. Lately, minivans have been getting worse and worse. Some don't even have V6's. Minivans are getting extraordinarily expensive, the Honda Odyssey is brushing 30,000! I can get a Challenger and have 3,000 left over for that.
Early minivans were often (quite hilariously) flops. A really good example of this is the Pontiac Trans Sport pictured above. It got the nickname "Dustbuster" because the side profile is similar to the hand-held vacuum cleaner. Why is this good styling Pontiac? Where did you get inspiration? You went down to the Sew-and-Vac didn't you? *Facepalm*
I think that the perfect minivan would be built on an extended entry-level truck chassis, so four wheel drive would be easy to do. It would have heavy duty suspension, so when filled with people the suspension can take it. The Perfect Minivan would also have a V8 and a 5 speed auto for comfort.
Do you have any thoughts about cats? What drives you crazy? I welcome all respectful comments, so keep it clean. One post a week, so stay tuned!
I have thankfully never owned a minivan. Although I can see how they can be useful for families. You should check your prices on the Odyssey 30,000$ is without an engine lol! A friend had a Caravan and got 300,000 miles on it. She loved how reliable it was.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Dodge does good stuff. I would drive a Durango well before another crossover!
DeleteYes! The Durango is less hedieous than others. The grill is actually qq
ReplyDeleteQuite good looking.
The new black Dodge grilles look really good.
DeleteFor an oldie like me who loves chrome, I would not have thought I would like the black grilles, but I do!
ReplyDeleteYeah. Chrome is making a comeback though!
DeleteAny Ideas for what I should post today?
