I have the ultimate living-room-on-wheels : a fully-loaded minivan. I have a Wi-Fi router by virtue of my mobile phone in hot-spot mode. And, I have the ultimate target demographic : 2 kids ages 7 and 10. To them, Wi-Fi is like running water.

FTFY

Came in here to see this:

We got a fully-loaded Sedona at a tad over $40K. It’s $5K cheaper than a similarly-equipped Odyssey and will last just as long or longer. What’s not to love? Sometimes, a badge really is just a badge.

No customers, no business. No demand, no revenue.

The fact you missed the slightly more subtle point of the article says a lot. Hint : it really wasn’t that subtle.

It’s already happened. My 6 and 9-yr old **LOVE** our minivan.

This is not a minivan. It’s a 6-seater crossover. Minivans are significantly larger and can usually seat 8 (or 7 comfortably).

BTW, this is **not** a minivan in common parlance, at least not anymore than the Mazda MP5 is a minivan. Minivans are much larger than these, can seat 8, and when everything is folded down, have significantly more cargo room.

This thing is a maintenance/repair nightmare. $29K would be just the beginning of a very large amount of money thrown at this vehicle.

You lost me at ‘Asian Camaro’

CP. A 14-yr-old BMW with that many miles on it is a money pit.

Sounds like someone who was against Obamacare, but didn’t want his ACA touched.

A good car has both. My 2016 Kia Sedona has a touch-screen and button and knobs for everything that has ever had buttons and knobs : climate, radio, cruise control, traction control, locks, windows, etc.

You would have to make a deliberately poor decision to not own one as a daily driver

Nope. Bush 2001 had crowds much larger than this.

Bought a 2016 Kia Sedona SXL a couple of months ago and could not be happier with its Android Auto. My wife’s Galaxy S5 connects via Android Auto via Bluetooth whereas my older Note3 uses USB. They both work flawlessly and love having the Android interface extend to the large screen in the center console. We mainly…

That’s odd. Audi is supposed to support Android Auto.

And, no, Hyundai Santa Fe does *not* share the same interior. For some odd reason, only the 2015+ Kia Sedona/Sorento got that (clearly superior) interior and did not share it with its corporate cousins.

Kia Sorento (SUV) / Sedona (Minivan). They are basically the same vehicle and share like 95% of the same parts, including the very well-done interior. Best center console and infotainment of any non-luxury SUV or Minivan on the market today, IMHO. Heck, it’s even better than most luxury SUVs.
