Who are they trying to fool?
 
Saw this vehicle outside my apartment today. The Dodge Caravan Sport Edition. I'm trying to figure out what class this would be in.

We had a '99 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport for 5 or so years. I think the difference was that it came with a spoiler and bigger sway bars.

I don't know man. My aunt's minivan hauls ass for a family hauler.

Sport means that it can kick a stock miatas ass stoplight-to-stoplight

kind of like when on the Top Gear 10000 supercar challenge when Jeremy bought the Maserati and believed it to be the SS model, however when they were on the dyno he found a receipt showing the purchase of the SS badge, meaning the car came from the factory with 190 bhp, not 220, and currently put out only 80 bhp :rofl:

if you have never seen this video before, watch it and dig up the other three, or just fast forward to the end where they are on the mobile dyno

That is such a great show, even if they badmouth the US once in a while.

Why the hell is it that every soccer mom in her dodge minivan has the irresistible urge to try me at every stoplight WTF? You sure as hell don’t feel manly, when you pawn them :dunno:

If a pc-pro can be considered a full "EMS" by many stupid idiots,I don't see why a mini van cannot be called a "sport edition".

That's so the weinerless men whose wives have talked them into it can tell their buddies that sure it's a minivan, but it's the sport!!!

sport is the marketing term for "less options so it's lighter and faster"

elesjuan 01-14-2008 01:37 PM

Uhm? Sport means you'll have to replace the transmission that much sooner???

Ben 01-14-2008 01:55 PM

The sport package is an appearance/trim level package. Added body keyed accents and some other stuff. Pretty much the same throug h the dodge line.

Is a "sport" minivan any different than the following truck:

One ton, dually, diesel.....with an "offroad package":td:

My mom had a 93 Caravan and it blew 3 transmissions before we sold it. Best mini van we ever owned was a Ford Aerostar. My g/f is still driving her 94 Aerostar.
