The Caravan reminded me that my folks bought a 1984 Toyota Van Wagon (that’s what they originally called it) brand new in 1983. They sold it to a neighbor in 2006. I still see them running around occasionally. I remember people looking at it like it was a space ship when I was a kid and the van was new.

I've driven them many times, including LX570s, there is absolutely more squat and dive when braking than in a car, thats just physics.

I believe I saw more of these than the Ford Aerostars.

This Audi is just stunning. So classy looking and refined looking. And of course the W12

Sitting here getting the oil changed in the Pacifica for the first time, thought this was interesting. This isn’t the whole history, it’s about 800 miles short, my guess is I reset it when I went to WV the first time (I usually do) but it shows almost factory 50/50 gas and electric. This includes multiple trips including Albany which was 1,000 miles and NJ several times that’s 5-600 each where it was running on all gas. So we really do use mostly EV…
Check out that MPG, that’s like a combination gas use so that takes the EV use into consideration. About what our old Prius got.
very happy with this vehicle…
