Disagree--while GM and others may think that, the Traverse is no replacement for a minivan. For GM not to somehow incorporate sliders on the Traverse was a huge mistake! They could have truly defined a new segment of minivan--one that looks like an SUV bit has the functional practicality of a minivan.

Its funny, because I thought the Traverse would have sliders since the 05 makeover of the minivans had them look more SUV-like.
