I'm about to make a startling admission—I like minivans.

And really, what's not to like? I'm not saying I want to take one corner carving up in the canyons on a Saturday afternoon, but they're practical, roomy, and plush versions are loaded with bells and whistles to keep children—or hungover bachelor party survivors—entertained in the back seats. When they're not hauling around a grip of kids, they aren't even that slow!

The only thing minivans aren't, is cool, and I think it the Dodge Kahuna concept could have changed that. Just look at this baby—cowabunga dude!
