Meh. It’s an SUV. Not interested.

My daughter in Seattle, with a two year old, was considering a new SUV last summer. I simply said, you might want to look at minivans. As we were all talking, she pulled out her laptop and started typing away. Long story short, two weeks later they bought a Pacifica plug in hybrid mini-van, and absolutely love it. All her other “soccer mom” friends have SUV’s, and they marvel at her opening the sliding door with her key fob, easily sliding my grandaughter into the back seat without messing with a swing door between parked cars. And going to the George amphitheater and sleeping in the back overnight.

And doing virtually all over her local driving via the electric motor and plugging it in at night. It’s also more stable than an SUV. There is a reason so many accidents nowadays are “rollover” accidents. Thank the popularity of the SUV. I watched one roll over right in front of my on I-405 south of bellevue. A “car” would have spun out.

I love minivan sliding doors. You don't have to worry about idiots, I mean children, banging the car next to you with the swinging door.

Who cares if you’re not interested. I am.
