Minivans are the Rodney Dangerfield of the automotive industry: they get no, or little at least, respect. They're not particularly attractive, they're not the most lithe of vehicles nor are they the most subtle.
Look no farther than my own life. For years, my wife thought it would be nice to have a minivan and I always found a way to steer our vehicle purchases in different directions. It wasn't hard, since we tend to keep our vehicles until they fall apart and therefore don't sally forth to the local auto mall very much other than to ogle or "goal set".
