Because outside of vanagons, minivans suck.

Don't like them, never liked them, never gonna like them. Everytime I've
driven them, I am always glad to be rid of them. I feel like I'm driving the
livingroom couch. (With a couple of armchairs thrown in).

Eliminate minivans, and what's left to do what I need to do?

Exploders - Blazers - Cherokees.
