Can a Mini Van be cool? Yes

Re: Can a Mini Van be cool? Yes

I'm glad YOU think so. I personally wouldn't drive it even for a test drive.

Re: Can a Mini Van be cool? Yes

I am not sure about cool, but definitely much better than a Montana SV6 or Uplander

Sorry... I don't like it all that much either, the lights make it look like an 18-wheelers.

Re: Can a Mini Van be cool? Yes

I guess if you're into Mini-vans then it could be "Bad ass", but bad ass would not be how I would describe it.

Re: Can a Mini Van be cool? Yes

That's as badass as a Chrysler Pacifica, or a Ford Freestyle (Taurus X now).

Everyone's "badass" scale is different that everyone else's....here's mine:

I-----1--X--2-----3-----5-----6-----7-----8-----9-----10I

Re: Can a Mini Van be cool? Yes

The top pic makes it look sorta coolish, possibly. This one actually shows you what it looks like, however...

Re: Can a Mini Van be cool? Yes

You'd need to be a Toyota's #1 fanboy to think that thing is any form of bad assness.

Re: Can a Mini Van be cool? Yes

Wow, a completely stock, weird-looking minivan. Yawn. If I had, and I mean HAD to drive a minivan it would be a little more like this:

Re: Can a Mini Van be cool? Yes

Looks like crap, and if you think that is cool that explains a lot about your love...Toyota.

Why do Toyota fan boys say that the split lights looks dated on GM vehicles but "cool" on a Toyota?

Right. If that front end were on a Chevy Truck (and it essentially is) it would be dated and ugly. Since it's on a Toyota, it's cool and bad ass...

Re: Can a Mini Van be cool? Yes

Notice how they even re-used the interior of the Matrix. All things people complain about GM but think its cool on a Toyota.
