Did I just buy an SUV?

I didn't mean to. I am an environmentalist. Really. But before I knew it, there it was, in front of my house.

    In favor of minivans

    My folks had a powder blue Honda Odyssey. Oh man, did we make fun of them. Perhaps the least cool car ever. So when they sold it they bought a Honda Pilot. It is harder to get into and get out of and in every way less comfortable and spacious. We all agree that we miss the ugly old Odyssey. Dad said it was like a living room on wheels.

    My husband and I drive a Honda Fit, which I love, but if we come to a time where we need something bigger I am definitely going for the minivan.
