There are a few others as well.

This is true.

However, except for the 4Runner and Explorer (not coincidentally, the only two offered in a V8) those are "crossovers".

A mini-van can do everything that a crossover can do, usually better.

as of 2011 MY, the Explorer will become a "crossover" as well.

Yeah, becomes a unibody, based off the Taurus IIRC.
V6 Ecoboost, and FWD/AWD.

Trying for increased mileage and comfort, negatives are reduced towing capacity.
That means that my choice for the woman's vehicle is now an Expedition.

My parents are on their 2nd Honda Oddessy. They LOVE them.

Many years ago when the Oddessy first came out, leather was not an option. It kind of turned me off on Honda. I know they offer it now but... it just rubbed me wrong and I haven't been able to get passed it.

my 4runner has third row seating. unfortunately it is only suitable for small children or midgets. anyone else has their knees pinned to their chest and their head brushing the ceiling. so if you want real life-sized people sitting in the third row, i'd opt for the minivan instead (even though they are highly uncool looking).

pathfinders are cool. i love the armada!
