Motor1 Executive Editor Seyth Miersma tests out the new Chrysler Pacifica minivan to see if it’s got what it takes to beat back the Toyota Sienna, Kia Sedona, and new Honda Odyssey in this week’s Why Buy? For more Chrysler Pacifica: https://www.motor1.com/chrysler/pacifica/ As-tested price: $49,450 Secretly, car writers love to review minivans. Why, you may ask? Well, for starters, though minivans have gotten a bad rap as soccer caddies and mall parking lot residents, they’re usually quite pleasant to drive. In much the same way I find it refreshing to tool around in a Mercedes Sprinter or a Ford Transit Connect, getting behind the wheel of the newest family hauler is always a nice change of pace. What’s more, minivans have all the best stuff: Vacuums, multiple video screens, apps and games baked into the infotainment systems, and some of the most innovative, configurable interiors you’ll find anywhere. For a reviewer, there’s a lot to chew on. And that’s one reason I was so excited to tackle Chrysler’s new Pacifica for this week’s Why Buy? video. Along with the Honda Odyssey, this is the newest minivan on the market, and packed to the roof with interesting features that are dedicated to making people hauling a thing of pleasure, not pain.

There was a time when station wagons were thick on the ground across this country. Times have changed, though, and now crossovers are the most popular form of family transportation. Some automakers, though, continue to make wagons, and we salute them. This week Audi unveiled the RS6 Avant, a nearly 600-horsepower, all-wheel-drive super wagon that will, for the first time ever, be sold in the U.S. We’re going to talk about it on today’s episode, along with why station wagons have fallen out of favor, and which ones are our favorite of all time. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtSbDRtY1As
