Minivans actually sold really well. And apparently the most searched-for car on automobile websites is still “Honda Odyssey.”
My understanding is that car companies started pushing SUVs over minivans due to threading loopholes in CAFE rules or import tariffs. Minivans get classified as “big cars” while SUVs can get classified as “small trucks.” It seems like these loopholes are being abused and should be closed but the car companies lobby to keep them open.
