good call, they've been gettin their butts kicked in that segment for years, kudos, they tried really hard to be the best, kept coming out with new stuff, but it simply wasn't good enough
edit: although now that i think about it, this might suck for budget folks, cause Kia was makin that Van they do off the ford vans, and my uncle got one. pretty nice van, it was really cheap too, suprised me. might suck for the budget families, or in his case, the "i don't use a condom enough" case

I never was one for the Ford minivans... The last decent one they had was the Aerostar that was based on a true frame with real 4x4... For the FWD minivans I like the Chryslers/Dodges... I've borrowed a few from work to move and do misc errands and they're the nicest I've driven... But I wouldn't drive a minivan, I'd get a Jeep first... Since there's the Commander now... Room for the entire family... Plus it's still a Jeep...

Don't worry there are MORE than enough decent used ones on the market to go around... :thumbsup Plus in the used ones the Chryslers depreciate fast so you can get a really nice van for cheap... GM Makes a good van too though... Ah, screw it, why am I even talking about minivans... lol I don't drive 'em normally... Plus in the "I don't use a condom enough" case from what I've learned most are young (17-21) so they don't have the scratch for a nice van...
