re: Is the Chrysler Pacifica the best minivan choice currently?

Has universally great reviews. Every auto review site seems to love the new Pacifica over other Asian choices such as the Toyota Sienna, Honda Odyssey and Kia Sedona.

Well, the outcome order of auto review sites often suspiciously parraleles the ad purchases in said magazine/site. Of the 8 vans reviewed in Consumer Reports, the Pacifica was 7th with the Dodge Grand Caravan being 8th. The Toyota Sienna and Honda Odessey did much better, being 1 & 2. And past history says these are much better buys.

Getting over the fact that it is a minivan and don't care what others think

Why do you give a crap what other people think? Minivans are very practical for families with young children, much easier entry and exit for the small children. Besides, let the wife drive that one, you get a 4WD Pickup or a German sports car.
