Let's face it. Nobody grows up dreaming of driving a minivan. As kids, we always wanted to drive an awesome sports car, a really cool 4x4, or a really jacked up pick up truck. No one ever said " my dream car is a minivan" and you sure didn't have posters of minivans hanging on your bedroom wall. You never understood how your parents could buy a minivan (or it's predecessor, the station wagon, depending on your age) by choice. You never wanted to ride in it, let alone be seen getting in and out of it. God forbid your friends saw you even though their parents were probably driving the same thing or something very similar.
