In the case of Dodge's Grand Caravan, it's the icing that really makes the cake. Available options include Swivel 'n Go seating in which the second-row seats turn to face the third row - with a card table mounted between the rows - and dual DVD screens for each back row. Each screen can even be tuned to something different, including any one of three kid-oriented Sirius satellite TV channels.

At night, an optional interior lighting package casts a cool nightclub glow throughout.

"The minivan remains the ultimate troop transport " says Kelley Blue Book. While crossovers may look cool and be great in the snow, nothing else offers the space and versatility of a van.
