In deep snow or mud, minivans are almost useless. If you need to drive in
those situations the higher four-wheel-drive is the answer. If you look at
the world as a whole, "most" people don't really need that capability. For
those of us who do the anti-SUV tirades fall on deaf ears. There are many
diffeent 4WD configurations and I suppose everyone owning one thinks they
have a valid reason. Some drive the things like idiots...but that's true
with all vehicles. /jim

Why and SUV, most minivans have far more space if space is an issue. We
thought of an SUV but the Honda Odyssey kicked all of them by far for
interenal space (and more modular for seating). And I can tow pretty much
the same as most SUVs with the oil and tranny cooler (using less gas too).
My mind is that SUVs are really not necessary for most people. SUVs are
just too expensive to run. Maybe a flame war now? Who else guzzles gas on
this list...chug-a-lug chug-a-lug
;-) hahahaha
