there is nothing that an SUV does that a minivan doesn't do better.

Exactly, I was at a Dodge dealership the other day pricing minivans. The salesman actually told me minivans were obsolete and tried to get me to look at SUVs. I went elsewhere, a minivan suits my needs. If I wanted a SUV I'd shop for one. Are all the dealerships pushing these things this way?

It is because they are afraid of getting stuck with them due to increased gas prices and the manufacturers are offering bonuses for sales of SUVs.
