I dont know about the others but I have a strange infatuation for vans when it comes to a vehicle that needs to do work.

Interior space matters when you want it to double as a tent on road trips.

The interior space is very important. We can travel with 6 adults, it will haul all the boys' stuff to university every fall, it's an ok size for driving around town. A mid-size SUV would work,but it has some limitations. As a tow vehicle it was better (IMHO) as a camper at the track. you just have to buy one if you're ever going to understand !

astro's interior space is the key. no midsize suv can touch it, especially not an s series blazer.

Your Astro + LR4 swap. Should be about the same MPGs, and they're cheap because nobody wants the 4.8 V8s.

it's a shame that nobody has realised there is a market for a nice midivan... didn't they sell well? I seem to recall a lot of astros about at one time

speaking of midivans, if they sold a TDI eurovan here id have moved into one by now. Probably literally because i would have to sell most of what i own to buy a nice eurovan, stupid resale!

GM managed to sell the same vehicle for 20 years, so obviously someone likes them.They only stopped building them when some regulations changed for 2006 and the van wouldn't pass.
