I have owned all kinds-custom suburban, limited ford expedition, Cadillac, 2 full size vans, etc. It is the best riding, driving car I have ever owned. The interior, seats, and fit and finish are second to none. It gets great gas mileage and is a great comfortable ride. The fold down seats make it an excellent aircraft carrier. Two planes and all your gear are a slam dunk. Or 2 pilots and a plane each with all your gear, easy. 3 people and a plane and all your stuff easy.

Since I am no longer interested in attacting teenie-boppers, I don't care if my minivan looks like a minivan. It also matters not a whit to me what Anthjony buys or drives, I was just putting in the word about the Pacifica not being like the Dodge Caravan, Durango, nor the Chrysler T & C.
