My first thought is that is kind of pretty. Then I look at my half-drunk bottle of Larceny and have second thoughts... and I am not sure if I posted this twice. 

Very Ferrari California-ish in your lead illustration. Very pretty.

Absolutely love minivans and our next vehicle will once again add one to the fleet, I just really really really wish someone would release a quality PHEV minivan with a rated towing capacity equal to their ICE counterpart (~3500 lb) in the North American market.

13 years ago i bought a 2011 sienna LE. i liked it so much that in 2019 I bought another one, this time a 2007 sienna CE. basic, simple, and DEAD fucking reliable. 2grfe+toyota auto tranny is a 300k mi drivetrain if you stick to reg oil changes.

In the last few years, I have made many soccer, etc., runs. My informal research indicates that soccer moms do not often drive minivans, they usually drive SUVs.

I have an older Sienna (2007). Nothing like rolling up to Home Depot and getting 120 pickets and 3 6x8 sheets of plywood and fitting it ALL inside the van (middle seats gone, back flipped down) to make guys in F-150s question their manliness.

My favorite family vehicle of all time, and I’ve mentioned it many times on Jalopnik, was my Mercedes R350. It was essentially a slightly-squashed minivan without sliders. Similar in many ways to the original Pacifica.

Fuck yeah. Our minivan was awesome. If you have active kids and need to haul them, their friends, and all their stuff, there’s no better way to go. Going out with your dad-guy buddies? Minivan. You can plug the cooler in the back, designate a driver, and party until it’s time for bed at 10:45.

“Nice minivan, Bro, are you a Soccer Mom?”

“...EMERGENCY RELEASE LATCHES FOR THE MODEL Y’s REAR DOORS ARE HIDDEN BENEATH A MAT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR POCKET. ONCE THAT’S REMOVED, A RED TAB OPENS AN ACCESS HATCH THAT REVEALS AN EMERGENCY RELEASE CABLE...!”

The last words your fast-googling friend will scream in the seconds between the crash and you all burning…

Impossible. Elon invented the electric car, and certainly electronic door latches.

I want to feel sympathy for these people. I want to be a good person and look past our differences, acknowledging that everyone has different tastes and that’s okay. But...

They can’t build cheap gov. subsidized shit forever. I don’t want to be in an accident in a $10k car.

Ford “We sell a truck best known for virtue signaling by conservatives using a propulsion technology best known for virtue signaling by lefties.  Weird that no one seems to want it, esp. because we’ve priced it for only the upper middle class”

If Ford and others really want to move the EV cars, they need to get rid of the dealerships - dealerships will do anything to talk you out of EVs since they know they make their money from gas cars (maintenance, ... etc). Zero interest of dealerships to sell EVs, often crazy markups and just lies about EVs. Just try…

They weren’t built for peak power. But reliable power that you can run in high load scenario’s all day. Similar to a boat engine.

My buddy had an F250 with the V10 and we towed his dads small toy hauler up to Mammoth one Summer for a Mountain Biking trip. The clock on the dash showed a solid 3-4MPG’s as we climbed the grade from Bishop to Mammoth.

What’s even m0re wild is that it weighs only 300lbs more than a Challenger Hellcat.
