None of those vans are mini. This list should just be all about the wagovan. It is a wagon.....that is also a van. And it is mini.

I don’t see any sliding door. At best it’s a CUV if you really don’t want it top be a wagon.

That’s bullshit, they just just an Espace Shell over a slightly modified Williams F1 chassis.

The drivetrain was slightly modified, but the chassis was a one-off. It’s a minivan.

I know what you’re going to say, that its not...on sale yet. Yes, but its going to make a helluva minivan, what with its vertically opening doors, sliding upwards gracefully...plus all wheel drive so that’s nice. Should be great...

I mean, I’m sure precisely zero of them were optioned as listed, but that combination WAS possible.

A golf cart is just a small electric car made for old, rich, white men. Trust me, the electric car far predates the golf cart.

Nope, it is so mini of a minivan, you just think it’s a wagon. But it is a minivan.

Ah, but you see the door DOES slide* in fact, they all can slide*. And it is truly one of the miniest of vans. Thereby ergo ipso facto it is the minivan-est of minivans.

* = slide does not indicate direction or orientation of door during slide......or being attached to the minivan.

Explain.

I’m not trying to be a problem, it was just that every single one of these and the Mercury Villager I have ever seen leaked more oil than a 1970s sedan out of Britain.

The packaging was’t bad, but I would have chosen a Mazda MPV from 99-06 prior to a Questager.

Hmm, ok. But it could also be an SUV considering it’s almost identical underneath to ML/GL. And most people call it a mini van, since it has that sort of shape and proportions. So where does that leave us?
