Speaking of vans . . .

As we await the imminent expansion of our family, we are looking for a new vehicle.  We need seating for 9.  This limits the options VERY quickly.  Our four options are the following.


Nissan NV Passenger Van
Pros: The coolest van in the category.  Nice fit and finish on the interior.
Cons: Only available new.  High price tag.

Dodge Sprinter
Pros: Best gas mileage of the bunch.  Fit and finish.
Cons: Very hard to find a used one.  The one pictured is in Texas. Mercedes makes the newer ones, but their way to pricey.

 Chevy Express


Pros: Not many that I can think of.
Cons:  We drove one of these last weekend.  They are really only available in a 15 passenger.  They'll pull the back seat out and call it a 12 passenger, but then you have a huge cavernous space in the back.  It felt like driving a bus.

Ford E-Series

Pros: Readily available.  Lots of colors.  We drove one last weekend too and it drives pretty nice, for a truck.  The price is right.
Cons:  Drives pretty nice, for a truck.
