Would you drive this minivan?



The Chrysler 700c minivan (concept)

I can't decide if it's sleek or overstyled.

I owned a minivan for a long time (Ford Windstar) and the comfort factor of a minivan really makes up for the fact that you're driving - a minivan.

My SUV is OK but on long trips it's not the same. I have a crush on the Honda Pilot (seats 8 and looks better than a minivan) but I'd have to get one used.

This bad boy (if the production model is just as cool) may be what I'm looking for.



shrug


What do you think guys? Cool or Crappy?

The front view looked fine...but that back view leaves much to be desired.

It's better looking than most family cars.

I think the wheels need to be less flashy and more streamlined looking. Maybe even black wheels. hmmm

No.
If it's going to be a minivan, just drive a full on minivan. There's no trying to hide it.
I've got the odyssey minivan, and it's full of crumbs, broken crayons, juice spills, etc.
But then we got a tesla earlier this year (did you start a thread recently about that), and that's what I like to drive when I want to feel good about myself. So I can deal with my time in the unsexy minivan.
The best /funniest thing was when I opened the "trunk" at the grocery store and had my kids climb in, closed the "trunk" and proceeded to get in the drivers seat - there were a few curious looks - and it's quieter when they're sitting backwards away from me. LOVE it!

Usually it's the other way around.

Volkswagen went with that mentality with the Routan.



Didn't quite get the results they expected.

Your Odyssey DOESN'T fit the bill of a typical minivan. It's sleek. It's stylized. Not really "hiding" it, but rather taking the concept to another level.

I missed your Tesla thread I think. cool They certainly are easy on the eyes. nod

I'd splurge for the Honda Pilot. You'll get more miles out of it in the long run.

If you will, so will I

hmph!

I'd sell that sucker for something I could deal with...

I am single with no kids... there is no reason for me to putter around in one of those hideous boxes.

..LOL....Now we're on the same page...Sell that mug....Be sure to have a picture taken of yourself sitting inside the box BEFORE you sell it, that way you can convince the Prize-Patrol that you are riding around town...

I always laugh when I hear that...

I've had 3 Chevrolet Camaros in my driving life:

  • I got a 1979 in 1986 and drove it until 1994.
  • I got a 1995 in 1994 (brand new woot!) and drove it until 2011
  • I now own a 2010, and plan on driving IT for a while.

Well, congratulations...


...still doesn't change the fact that it's made out of cheap plastic, won't drive around corners, looks like a Skoda on the inside, and the engine size to power and fuel consumption ratio has not developed since the mid 80s and is a bit ridiculous, to say the least.

I can still understand the appeal of a muscle car though (although I'd never want one) - they look sporty, are fast on a straight line, have loud, massive engines and don't cost too much for all that.

But an American minivan? There are hardly worse choices, when you're looking for a practical car...
