Meh, only if you get the ecoboost engine. The V6 blows.

Are there any minivans that actually have decent engines? I love the practicality of a minivan, but haven't seen one that has a solid combo of pickup + efficiency. But I haven't really looked...

I have a dodge caravan 4.0 liter. No sports car but when I hit the gas no slouch. I get about 20mpg which is pretty good for what I do with it. 251hp definitely a step above the 3.6

My Highlander Hybrid has 306hp and gets ~27mpg. The electric motor is quick too. It is super smooth and quiet. I wonder when they will offer a sienna hybrid. The electric motor and stop start is perfect for school drop off line. I can get from my house through the drop off line without the engine starting.

that drag strip doesn't really mean much, as the BRZ/86/FRS is basically powerless and has the rear tires of a Prius (in a RWD car).

Just bought a '14 grand caravan with 30k Kim's on it.

It's red, so it's fast.

A minivan isn't manly enough for me (according to big k) so I'm looking for a STTV (suburban troop transport vehicle)

So, what you need is a Chevrolet Suburban.

Pink? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.

It'll be faster if you put stickers on it!

I helped my sisters shop for mini vans. The Honda Odysseys we drove had plenty of oomph for a van. Honestly wasn't bad at all to drive.

Or you can always go with this...
