I Miss My Minivan So Much [AUDIO]

Everyone used to pick on me for having one. The trusty Dodge Caravan. The Lee Iacocca mobile as they used to call it. After having 3 of them in my life, I finally unloaded the last one a few years ago for a more "stylish" SUV. What an idiot! Just like the Governator said - "They're Baaack". Or at least the auto makers are trying with a vengence. There's fierce competition amongst the major brands to get market share back for these handy vehicles. According to USA Today.com , they had a shoot-out of sorts:

To evaluate the high-end, high-profit vans that make the small market worthwhile, USA TODAY, Cars.com and the MotorWeek TV show convened the Ultimate Minivan Shootout, a comparison test among well-equipped vans priced from about $34,000 to $43,000, without shipping charges.

Although pricy, they picked the Honda Odyssey as the best. You can read the report above if you are in the market.

Sorry. I wouldn't pay $40,000 - no way, Jose! I liked my old one. It was a "dealer car". We got it for $16,000. Boy, those were the days. I remember the day I got rid of it like it was yesterday!
