New Honda Really Sucks

[cosworth151]

What sucks more than a minivan? How about a minivan with a built-in vacuum cleaner?

The new Honda Odyssey comes with its own vacuum cleaner. The HondaVAC is a hand-held vacuum integrated into the cargo area.

There are many things that I have always wanted in a car. A Hoover is not one of them. Maybe they just weren't clear on the concept behind the Brabham BT46B and the Chaparral 2J vacuum cars.

Really it's not that bad of a idea>Saves running a extension
cord.Now why someone would want a minivan is another question.

If you have a family, they are just so damn handy. They fit places a full size van won't, haul more munchkins than a pick up and are just generally useful to have. My sister was a true "Soccer Mom" though she hated the name, and hated the minivan that went with the job. But after the kids were gone and she went back to a sports sedan, she said " you know, sometimes I really miss the Dodge, it could just do so many things".

When you can only afford one vehicle a minivan makes perfect sense.
Also when you are older, like me, the higher seating position makes it so much easier to get out of the thing.   
Getting into sports cars, sedans or otherwise is not the real problem - getting out of them is though.

I had a minivan briefly for a company vehicle. I told them I'd quit if I didn't get another E-Series.

I loved our old VW Touran.  First van I ever drove that behaved like a car.  If they came in a AWD version, I would still have it.  But with the past two winters we've had here, FWD doesn't cut it up the hills.
