Re: Can a Mini Van be cool? Yes

If you don't like this (a real mini-mini van), then go stroke your Silverados :

That A-100 clone is super-cool, but that origonal thing is not cool, not cool at all.

Thanks for the reminder....I love that concept and hope it comes to market looking very close to that! I love the blend of sleek futurism and avant garde/bio influence....a risky work of art that "works" to my eyes and sensibilities.....hardly the archetypal boring "soccer mom" minivan for sure!

Re: Can a Mini Van be cool? Yes

Man there are some ugly pigmobiles in this thread; ugh. And no, Cressida, it ain't pretty, Yoter or no.

By the way, why don't you drive a Hino like you should??

Re: Can a Mini Van be cool? Yes

if you've ever played GTA I'd imagine the exhaust note to be similar to that of the Rumpo (or Rumpo XL!)

Re: Can a Mini Van be cool? Yes

I was in Hong Kong last week, and it was minivan-heaven.

Tons JDM-style minivans for cargo, passenger, and Triad hauling.

I could totally tell some of those minivans were up to no good.









My favorite was the Toyota Previa/Estima. Awesome looking minivan.

I agree. Look at my first post on this topic for my idea of a cool minivan. Mazda5 with the turbo 4 from the Mazda speed.
