My husband and I just spent Saturday test driving vehicles. We do tow a small popup trailer (with kids and bikes) so we do want something with the power to do it. We are settling in on another minivan, the space is there and the mileage isn't so attrocious (and I like how minivans utilize space better). We don't need all wheel drive. I don't understand the "image" thing...are SUV's supposed to be sexy or something? Since Ford and GM got out of the minivan biz that leaves Chrysler, Toyota and possibly Nissan. We would like to buy American so that leaves Chrysler (Town and Country or Caravan) but boy that Nissan sure drove nicely and they seem to be more willing to deal than Toyota.
Does anyone have any info on the "carbon footprint" of a vehicle assembled overseas versus mileage?
I agree with another poster here, minivans will come back. The mileage of my Pontiac Transport is not that much worse than the mileage of my Toyota Camry.
