The pic is below. All six people in the van died.

Now, the rear seat occupants were not wearing their seatbelts, so obviously I am not suggesting that this would have happened even if they were. But, I think it is important to realize that (IMHO) minivan crash safety does not quite compare to that of an SUV. I would kindly ask anyone here to chime in on this.

Without knowledge of actual crash ratings and passive and active safety systems on current minivans and SUVs, please DON'T GO THERE. Certain minivans are among the safest vehicles on the road and are less likely to roll over than SUVs.

Please...a huge motor home hit a minivan or vice versa. It would have decimated any passenger vehicle. They died due to no seat belts and physics, not because they passed on the X5 with adaptive drive...
