I just bought an Astro
I think it is the best small van you can get right now. None of the others can tow 6000lbs and have a usable cargo capacity. But if you stick it in the minivan class and not a midsize class that it and the Windstar were the only ones to fit in, it kind of misses its real purpose.
But really it seems like the person that wrote that article kind of missed the idea behind of some of these cars and has a pretty strong dislike against others for no real reason other than they didn't redesign a perfectly good platform every 3 years. I never liked them to redesign a car, to me they always redesign them bigger but almost never better.
Edit: My air bags just came in today for it
