The R Class Is Not A Minivan

As the saying goes..."it ain't no minivan!"

This R Class is in some deep s*** but doesn't seem to mind a bit.

There are minivan owners pushing their 4wd Sienna to the limit as well.

I still agree with Nevada's statement that the R-Class is not at all a minivan. It looks very different than say an Odyssey or a Sienna.

However, I still don't know what to call it

I think it'd be a lot easier on us if they just called it a minivan. Anyone with an open mind and common sense knows that these days minivans aren't what they used to be, with fantastic engines and easy on the eyes aesthetics.

You are right Ricky...the connotation for "minivan" no longer fits the animal.
