Yeah I was thinking pretty much along those lines, myself. Minivan is the subject of my search. Only thing that gives me pause is a story a co-worker told about how they rented a Grand Caravan and proceded to load it up with 7 adults and camping gear enough to have the springs nearly flat, then drove it around in the mountains about 1,800 miles in a week.
I'd guess *most* minivans would not get that treatment, however. I do agree about the low end econo cars.
