I don't need massive power, but just enough to pass a slow car or a gas tanker on the freeway at least

Minivans get better gas mileage than comparably sized crossovers. Check you facts sir.

Stop reading magazines and believing internet facts, I have friends who ***** about the crappy gas mileage on new Honda's and Toyota's, whatever the heck their names are, they are average with gas mileage, no different then 10 years ago, they are heavier, go slightly faster and that's about it, I thought by now we would be seeing a real improvement in gas mileage, but it's only on hybrids and diesels so far.

Crossovers are another vehicle with crappy gas mileage

Minivans are more aerodynamic hence why it's a FACT they usually get better gas mileage.

I can't comment on the Toyota and Honda vans though...

Wow the minivan segment is really starting to go in all sorts of directions. Toyota introducing a sporty Sienna and a class exclusive I4 (for the moment), Honda's big plans for the Odyessy, and now Nissan with this. 300hp wowza

Big Kia Focus?

300hp in a mini-van seems like a lot to me.

seems solid to me. decent styling, Nissan sportiness , and the legendary VQ under the hood. What else could a budding family ask for

300hp is nothing, MB builds R63 I believe, with whatever insane amount of power that has

Pilot: 17/23/19
Odyssey (old Odyssey btw): 17/25/20

Also the Odyssey and Sienna are over a foot longer than the Edge/Highlander/Pilot so the fact that they match/beat the mileage of those crossovers is pretty darn amazing.
