So, all fine choices in view of her priorities.

You summed this up well.

Especially as a supposedly grown adult. Puzzling. Hope you don't live near me, OP.

She has 4 kids. You need a minivan with 4. Not with 2.

You don’t need a minivan with four kids. The two 4 kid families in my neighborhood never had a minivan.

I somehow strongly suspect they are OPs "type".

Mercedes makes a minivan. But some people (smart ones) value function over "status cars."

Mercedes hasn't sold a "minivan" in the US since 2011...

You think the cost of shipping from Europe is an impediment to Jeff Bezos' wife? The point is that she could easily choose a more "status car" but doesn't.

Don't be so gullibe. Of course she's going to say she drives a Honda minivan in a public interview when her husband is the executive leader of a company that's reviled for the way it treats its white-collar staff let alone the unskilled ones.

It reminds me of the IKEA founder who people loved to claim drove an old Volvo until news came out he totaled his Porsche.

In white suburban moms or white range rovers?

I drive a nice Subaru Forester and I love it! I can't stand the gas sucking tanks that people drive around in. Getting kids in and out of them is awful.

Hands down its GLS, Yukon XL Denali, or Range Rover.

XC 90? Please! You might as well drive a f*cking Honda Pilot.

LOL. I was referring to the SUVs but both probably qualify. Most are blondes in workout gear.

Can't stand the Yukon/Tahoes in our school carpool. They are monstrously large and hold up the line.

No idea. All I know is I take 6 kids and from lacrosse practice every 3rd practice. I have a minivan and the other 2 families in our carpool also have minivans.

Oh I wish my daughter would drive a minivan, they are so practical and easy to drive but she wouldn't be caught dead in one. Instead she drives an SUV that's so big you could launch missiles off the roof.
