ADThat's all based on the assumption of needing 4WD for snow, such as because of some job that compels one to travel when the roads haven't been serviced yet. Now take a gander at Nash's photos again, looking for tire tread. All you'll find where its evident are "All Season" tread patterns.
to be fair dodge does not sell 4x4 minivans any longer so if any probability of getting stuck in a snowbelt is in the picture a minivan won't do
Well before his 2008 lease, Car&Driver magazine published a head-to- head test of 4WD vs Snows, and Snows beat 4WD in 8 of 10 tests.
Conclude what you will: either there's no significant "Snow" requirement for the vehicle, or Nash was poor in doing his research and bought the wrong feature, or that Nash didn't care because he was buying to "compensate" :-)
I've seen an awd chevy astro in urop but never in the states. So you could not replace an suv with an awd with a full size van in the states either.Chevy used to sell the 4WD version of the Astro in the USA; don't know if they still do.
Even so, it still begs the question of "Full sized for what?". There's still no sign of an 8,000lb trailer of anything as per that "Specifications" brag, let alone a bevy of kids (which usually fit better in 3 row minivans than in SUVs anyway). And with the sticker on the thing, Heaven forbid if Nash has ever whined about Apple products being overpriced :-)
