F'real they're just better SUVs. I tried googling it, but the internet's very helpful answers were "they're not cool" and "SUVs are more popular." I'm convinced it's manufactured desire. What really happened to the minivan?

Edit: Apparently wagons and minivans still exist, they're just sold as SUVs.

        I assume by "shocking" you mean "it engages the shock absorbers installed in your vehicle" and not "surprising", because we've been predicting infrastructure collapse for the past four decades straight at least

        I live in NJ and I really can't imagine driving anything but a small SUV at this point. Between the shitty job that the plows do and the massive potholes, the extra few inches of clearance and AWD are indispensable.

        Also, the majority of roads in America are logging roads, which tend to be a little rough around the edges.
