More people at more weight for many minivans. My vehicle is the size I need for my needs. I don't need to hold 8. Why do I want to add another 1,000lbs to lug around. Your answer is worse for the environment than an SUV.

You might be referring to compact SUVs. 3 row SUVS are basically the same weight or more than minivans.

Oh wow, there are like 5 different classes of "SUV". This only further complicates conversations around this vehicle class. I drive a VW Tiguan, which is appears to fall under the compact SUV.
