All those "minivans" and other similar vehicles are simply STATIONWAGONS on steroids. New SUVs are "loaded" with luxuries to maximize manufacturers profits and hide their truck nature. "Fashion statements","cool", lot of them driven by teenagers who kill themselves and others due to total lack of driving skills and parental guidance. New "Honda Element" actualy not so new in terms of looks, there has been FIAT Multipla for over 5 years in Europe. Leon 85 Subwagen
