What's Wrong With This Picture: The Quest For The Minivan Awesomeness Edition

Nissan has released more teasers for its forthcoming 2011 Quest, and we’re starting to get the feeling that it could just be the first mold-breaking minivan in some time. It’s not necessarily the most exciting looking thing, but under that blunt-nosed skin, this Quest likely boasts the RWD/AWD chassis of the newest Japanese Elgrand van and an optional 3.5 liter VQ V6. We’ll wait for official details before we start getting too crazy, but the possibility of a 300 hp, RWD minivan is a little to perversely thrilling to ignore. With all the talk of “Swagger Wagons” and “Man Vans” lately, Nissan may just have the most exciting minivan since the first-gen Mazda MPV (to date, the only minivan to be appear in a rap video) hiding up its sleeve…

    I really like the ouside, except for the track which is not hidden. I like the back window wipper on the 2011 Toyota Sienna that is hidden much better. I think the dash looks the best of all the minivans, I just do not understand why thay can not move the shifter back on the column...or out of the way. How hard can it be to hide a track???? At least it is not as ugly as the 2011 Honda. I was really hoping for something special....but nissan falls short again....Can you say SWAGGER WAGON.

    Christ.. Hey Nissan... Nice spot for a SHIFTER. Ya been talking to Chrysler or stealing copies of the Routan?! Cut that shit out.. Put the shifter back where it should be.. around the column, or next to the wheel..... maybe down a bit.. BUT DAMN... STOP TALKING TO CHRAPSLER about VANS! *Whispering, So.. did ya manage to steal their folding seat in floor design yet?*

  • Ltcmgm78 It depends on whether or not the union is a help or a hindrance to the manufacturer and workers. A union isn't needed if the manufacturer takes care of its workers.
