The Minivan Craze - How it All Began - autoevolution
they're not as cool as the newly-launched Porsche Panamera Turbo S facelift that comes with a 4. 8-liter biturbo V8 and 570 horsepower. And not as good looking as the 2014 BMW 4 Series Convertible everyone is getting all excited about. They're not fancy, they're not cute and they're known to feature in loads of "soccer mom" and "driving 40 mph in the left lane" jokes. Well, they're the most useful vehicles to have been invented since the pickup truck and while they can't haul as much as a Ford F-150, they're very good at moving people around. They're roomy enough for a basketball team and its coach and perfect for a family of four. An SUV just won't do it unless image is all you care about and you're that person who thinks a Nissan Micra is a sportscar once it gets a rear diffuser and a Nismo badge. Now that my cover's blown to bits, I guess it's time to explain what's with the van talk all of a sudden (there are plenty of cool Ferraris and Lamborghinis to talk about, no. ). Well, thirty years ago this month Chrysler began. Source: www.autoevolution.com
