Those caravans were amongst some of the worst vehicles ever made. The height of GM's 90's incompetence lol..l
Chrysler couldn't build a motor or transmission back then lol but the K platform was damn impressive from a business standpoint.
Though speaking of GM minivans
Mother of God....
The only thing this could do well was kill you in a head on collision.
@!Aznboi128: Good luck if you find a vista roof wagon. Unfortunately, the wagon craze resurgence has driven up prices for most everything wagons.
Also: I park across a Chrysler 200 in my complex. They are an attractive car inside and out. I'm guessing quality / sales issues led to their death? Same with the Dart. They both died so quickly and were pretty much being given away by dealers.

YOOOOOOOOOooo
I actually really liked those vans before. Aerodynamic shape ftw! Yea, I know its hard to find a good big wagon these days but one can dream.
GM did a few things right like this 70s RV. FWD for a flat rear floor, independent rear suspension it all makes sense.
i had a brief interest in tall wagons and had a thing for the mitsubishi space wagon (aka. spacegear rvr) from the early 2000's:
90's honda civic wagon was another:

Who here has searched craigslist right after this thread to find these cars? Can't be just me hahaha
I've actually been searching for cars like these for awhile but mostly to get a sense of market value (which varies hugely given location and condition).
Speaking of tall wagons. Nissan had a couple as well.
My cousin's family bought one of these ^ brand new. He kept bragging to me about how awesome it was to have sliding doors on both sides. He was right. A rare feature at that time.
I remember my mom looking at the Nissan Axxess. They were made up until 1996 for the North American market I think. This was around 2000, and she couldn't find any in good condition, so she ended up with a brand new Elantra Wagon instead.
the nissan sentra coupe was one of the cars i coveted when i was in high school (i'm an old fart). everyone thought i was nuts because the sentra was just an underpowered econobox oddball here in north america, but i had dreams of finding a rhd wreck of a RZ-1 from japan and doing a swap into a LHD chassis here... of course it never happened. sigh.

not 100% sure, but the m30/leopard was a larger rwd platform, whereas the sentra/sunny was fwd (there was also 4wd as well)

4.6-liter, 32-valve DOHC V-8 fitted with a Roots-type supercharger and a water-to-air intercooler. The result is 390 horsepower and 390 pounds-feet of torque
