Personally, those caravan/ram vans/whatever aren't vans, just big
cars.  I wouldnt want a van that drove like a car, then it's not a
van!  Mom has a older junky one and I hate it! And I actually have an
easier time driving the Vanagon in the tiny garage than mom's Ram
Van! I had to drive hers while the bumper on mine was being painted.
I didnt realise  a microbus, a nice small family vehicle, was that
hard to park in a garage. My 71 wasn't and it's not that small.
And I think the Caravans/etc are ugly... hehe
