"Man Van"

Chrysler's upcoming Man Van to be built in Windsor. Who says vans are for Soccer Mom's?!?!

Quote:

This isn’t your mother’s minivan any more.

Tricked out with a standard black-on-black interior, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, no roof rack and a V-6 engine, Chrysler Group LLC is set to pull the wraps off its new Dodge Caravan R/T – known more appropriately as the Man Van – at the Chicago Auto Show Wednesday.

“When you sit behind the steering wheel you will feel you are driving a sports car. You completely forget, as long as you don’t look behind you, you forget you are driving a minivan,” said Dodge Chief Executive Ralph Gilles on the eve of the Chicago Auto Show.

Not for me, I like the part where they said it feels like you are driving a sports car.....

This looks like fun though...(go to around 5 mins)

I think Ralph Giles is deluded!!! Gonna take more than removing the chrome, adding leather and 17' wheels to get me into a van. Now make a cool wagon and I would be in!!!
