In other countries, the streets are narrower, and trying to find a parking space acts as a disincentive for large cars. A curse on SUVs!

The cheapest minivan can't be any cheaper than the cheapest four-dour sedan. 2. Lazy bastard. 3. Do you really have to bring that 5-ton Power Wheels Jeep Wrangler with you everywhere you and your kids go? How about that Melissa & Doug Grocery Store and Lemonade Stand? There is a place for all that stuff and it is called home. 1. The cheapest minivan can’t be any cheaper than the cheapest four-dour sedan.

They are cheap. 2. They are family-friendly. Many have power doors that the driver can control, separate climate control for passengers in the back, lots of cup-holders, etc. 3. You obviously have no kids. Once you have kids you acquire every kid-gadget known to man because you think that you can't raise your kid without them. They only way to haul all that crap is via minivan. 1. They are cheap.
