Should Mercedes make a minivan?
I personally think so, because minivans do make car companies a lot of money. It could help them compete with Dodge Caravan, Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey. It'd be useful for Mercedes. What do you think?
I always thought the same thing about Audi and Cadillac.

Ummm...

What, you want a sliding door too? Lol...
You're not the first person to think of this. Think hard about it... zero excitement factor + zero aesthetic appeal + zero driving appeal. Sure, for companies like Toyota and Honda that sell cars that are as exciting as laundry machines, it makes sense. I'm not trying to be a Mercedes fanboy. I just think some common sense would lead to the conclusion that the company surely thought about it, but then decided to opt for a more "exciting" route, in line with the manufacturer's long and storied history. I'm sure no one wanted to be the guy who approved production on the lamest Mercedes ever.

This 
sounds like he just got his first computer and discovered the internet. I would even wager to guess that mom drives him around in that Dodge Caravan that he lists he drives. My uneducated guess is that facebook and pinterest don't give him the attention he seeks (remember those Toyota commercials about the teenager and the facebook friends being the life when compared to the life of parents 
); so he tries forum after forum.

Anyone with an attention span greater than a goldfish would hate the Transformers movie.
But if you're all for being a zombie and staring at bright flashing SFX, looking at blatant (and poor) product placement, and a camera that cuts from one frame to another every freaking half second...

Do you think Mercedes should make a minivan? Why or why not?

Here is your wish junior.
Mercedes Vito
What are you willing to do, give up, so that your mom can drive you and your soccer team around?
OR
Maybe we should call and have those unruly soccer players picked up.

Everyone is making fun of you because Mercedes has been making a minivan since 2005... it's called the R class and you can see it in the link of the first response.
