Careful how you banter around stereotypes there. My wife read this and went ballistic. She loves to drive my Porsche but needs a minivan to cart around the kids + friends. She can't stand the build quality on the Town & Country we have right now and likes the idea of full maintenance. There are a lot of reasons why soccer moms may want a BMW minivan over a different brand, and in our case it has no more to do with image than why you're driving around a BMW SUV (guess that would be for image too).
