I found my favourite mini van one night while on kazaa. I thinkit was about an '89 Caravan and it was at like 500HP WITH NOS... it raced a camaro z28 and beat the pants right off it...

Was that 500hp mini-van the white one with wood paneling down the side? I have a video of it too...
I don't know how much HP it has, but I do know it's like a 12 second FWD mini-van, and it's badass. I used to have the video of it racing that silver Z28, but now all I have is the video of it doing a huge smokey burnout.
Oh, and I don't have a favorite mini-van. To tell you the truth, I doubt I could even name like 2 mini-vans.

MPV ofcourse, the 89-94(before the longer frontend), then the All Sport, and now the 2002 MPV with 200 HP....great reliability, can hual a lot, just great vans.
We have a '92 V6, it's nice as hell, almost 90,000 miles and the only work we needed to do to it was the normal tuneups and a new radiator after we got hit head on a week after we got it in '97....looks great, only minor door dings(thanks big SUVs).
BTW, MPV stands for Multi-Purpose Viehicle....

My favourite is the Vauxhall Zafira. The way the seating folds down into the floor is great, and its not bad to drive, especially the GSi version, which looks pretty hot as well! Well, it looks about as hot as minivans get. Ohh, and there was the Williams Renault Espace, 700bhp and slick tyres, now that was a minivan!

I agree with punkrock, Espace F1 (it was in GT2). Saying that though I've got video of the 12 second caravan so that rates pretty high. Also in the Ford Transit Supervan 3, it may be a van but it is only 7/8ths the size of a real transit so I guess that makes it a mini van. Thats using old F1 technology as well, not as potent as the Espace in theory but its a white transit van. That means it's about 4 times as fast in practice.
And anyway, whats wrong with Euro minivans M5power? They are much cleverer than you average american van avec windows.

That's why I went with Japanese...the MPV features moveable and removeable middle seats, and the rear seat can be made flat or flip back so that you can sit out the back(not while driving). Middle windows go up and down instead of just out a little...power everything, 6 CD changer.
And it drives great.
And it drives great.
Just bought a 2002 Pontiac Montana (November 2001) and this thing is incredible. 8 passenger seating great power and best fuel economy of all extended minivans. My 13 year old plays Rep hockey so in 3/4's of a season(5 months) I put on almost 20000 km. and still spent less on fuel than just regular driving in my old V-8 full size Buick wagon. As an added bonus my wife thinks I hate driving it so she won't bother to ask me to use it.
