I doubt the minivan will die any day soon. It's way too practical for so many reasons. Can't beat the space and sliding doors for young families. I can see older families going to the CUV's but you still give up some room.

What happened to VW's van based off the DCX vans? That's what VW needs.

Well, the new Dodge arrives this fall, so we may see VW's version fairly soon.
 
Seems like an odd match up to me. I would have preferred to see the very cool Bus concept produced.

I just bought my Hundai Entourage. I like most Hyundai buyers had it down to 3 vehicles - Honda, Toyota & Hyundai.
Personally I think all 3 are excellent cars and would be thrilled to own any of them. The Entourage in "limited" trim can be had with the entertainment package for $26k ($2500 cash back included). A similarly yequipped car from either Toyota or Honda would cost $5000 more. My choice was simple.
The ONLY option I wish they had available would be a Navigation system. I don't know why they don't offer it in any model, it's not like it would be to difficult to source out a double Din to Pioneer, Alpine or whoever maked the Chrysler unit.
I didn't go for the "Ultimate Package" only because the only useful thing for the extra $1800 (over the entertainment package) would be the backup alarm.

Hyundai has very likely figured out that "captive" GPS/Nav systems will soon be going the way of the Dodo bird.
 
Non-captives can be moved from vehicle to vehicle or in some cases even carried in my wife's purse, or incorporated into my cell phone.

Or captive navs will drop in price, to the point you don't even think of them i.e...AM/FM radios. I will probably get nav in my next vehicle, mostly for the back up camera for hitching up my camper easily. I have a Garmin now that's nice to have, the 2-3 times/year I use it.

<<What's missing? Honestly. >>
 
Whats missing is the option to get leather seats or even a friggin sunroof with the 8-seater. Whats up with that? Honda also gives you less options with 8 seats, but at least I can get leather and a sunroof. That's why I'm going with Honda(I hope you're reading this, Toyota)!

I had a close up look at the new 08 Chrysler yesterday at Chrysler HQ. The exterior styling is nice, boxy....nothing exceptional, but it is a box after all. The interior looked about as cheap as my current one, no improvements, upgraded plastic or graining. Just more of the same cheapness.
 
I think I'm going over to GM for an Enclave or Acadia next....superior towing, similar mpg, a little less space, but great interior. I truly think the sleeping giant of GM is waking up....their interiors are world class.
