Can driving a minivan actually be cool? I say no – at least, not if it’s new. But this one? Yes.

Driving a new minivan makes you feel like a chauffeur (which is probably not your actual job if you’re driving a minivan). It says, “I could easily afford to drive something so much more fun, but I have a family.” Translation: “I need this car more than I want it. Pity me.”

Driving one of these says, “I don’t have enough money to buy something fun anyway, so I’d might as well get this.” Translation: “I’m a baller with not much dough but a cool social life.”

Also, this is probably the only minivan in the world that can pull off 2-tone paint, custom stickers, a body kit and rims without looking ridiculous. Not that you’d necessarily want one like that – but it’s nice to know your 7-seater has more edge to its personality than a Prius or a Camry.
