I think I woudl have to consider this.

Sleeper. Redefined.

...and it's AWD. I think this may be the only AWD AMG ever made.

Except that "minivan" has no more space than your V70R.

I'd kind of dig one of those. How many did they sell? Five?

If you believe one ad, 30. There are 4 for sale in the US (autotrader).

You clearly have never seen one of these things. Plus, a minivan is in the cards only if we ever have 3 kids.

So, no, I'm not getting one. And if a good allroad V2.0 ever arrives in the US market (or hell a regular wagon that can be raised by 2 inches at the push of a button), I won't consider an SUV either.

Yup. Not pretty. But minivans are not particularly hot either.

My wife has banned minivans from our household fleet.
