Not alot of difference between a minivan and an SUV, and I don't even know or care what a Crossover is. Minivans seem to be more spacious and versatile than SUVs since most SUVs built today are built for the street, not for the dirt. In fact, why would anyone actually BUY an SUV over a minivan? If SUVs were cooler, I would get it, but they are decidedly not - big, lumbering, hard to park, hard to get in and out of, fuel eating, no handling, and no more real room than a typical passenger car. Notice how no one with an SUV talks about the joy of driving - I am guessing there could not be much! If I have to have a vehicle like that, I will take the minivan - stigmatized or not, I really could care less. But since I enjoy driving (until the government puts a stop to it), I will stick with my sportscar and 6 speed manual....yes, even in traffic. ... View more

Gawd awful. Ford Fairmont headlight/turn signals? At least the automatic transmission goes with this - a manual would be pearl clutching to anyone seriously considering this car. Frankly, I would like to unsee it. ... View more

I completely agree! Also why would anyone want to have to step up into a car? What good is it just being taller? Do you really want a vehicle with a higher center of gravity? Not sure you would in a heavy cross wind. CUVs and SUVs look like warmed over mini-vans, except the minivan is far more practical. And what is this idea that Americans need to haul stuff as a part of their daily routine? No, I can't stand them; they are a very poor excuse for a car, and I for one am unwilling to refer to those abominations as cars. ... View more

Nice to know that even Ferrari can build a minivan. Wonder if it comes complete with captains chairs? ... View more

Yep. An SUV is an SUV is an SUV. All of them nondescript. ... View more

Not interested in EVs. Don't have time or inclination to change my life around to suit the charging schedule. Besides, if the politicians say that this EV thing is what we must do, it must be a bad idea since most of them seem to know little to nothing about cars. ... View more

What shepherds2 said! I have been in the electronics industry for 40 years and I won't buy a new car due to all of the poor quality electronics in them. They build them fast, cheap, and to a price point, with little in the way manufacturing quality that I have seen. Put this stuff into cars that have to exist in all types of harsh environments and not surprisingly you get failures; and car companies get spare parts sales. ... View more

I'd add the BMW e10 to this list. ... View more

So the cross-overs are modeled after SUVs and vice versa; and they all presumably were at least somewhat truck inspired. What a boring lot of lookalike blobs they are. If you gathered them all together and removed and mixed up the nameplates I doubt you could tell one from the other.....and don't get me started on the distracting computer screens imbedded in the dashes. I will stick to old cars that look, drive, and run like cars. My 2 cents anyway. ... View more

Too bad there are no SUVs on this list. We could do with a few less of them. ... View more

I would add the BMW e24 (633/635CSi) to this list.  These are now starting to appreciate, and are great cars for the "shade tree" enthusiast with little in the way of electronics to deal with.  Parts are mostly plentiful and relatively cheap, and the drivetrain is bullet-proof if properly maintained.  Build quality from the factory was excellent which shows this many years down the road.  An overall fun car to collect, or just drive and enjoy. ...
