>I'm not personally convinced that minivans lend themselves to much differentiation.

I agree. That is why my original thesis was that Hondas are now uninspiring, undifferentiated and boring. Pretty much minivans are all those things, by default.

Ah yes, so then you buy a 4 door pickup truck or crossover which isn't as good as the minivan in any practical way. But at least you aren't driving a minivan. Your peen size is safe from the world.

I'd happily drive a minivan because they are better than small pickups, SUVs and crossovers in many ways but they're boring and thats the mold they're trying to fill. If someone broke that mold then maybe they'd find people like the utilitarian appeal of the minivan but want a little bit more than the bare necessities of hauling children.

Ad hominem attacks against fellow posters is very anti-HN.
