There was a time when nearly every automotive brand had a minivan in their portfolio. Not anymore. Today there are only four on the market in the U.S.

Yes, there are some legitimate reasons for the lack of minivans. As you all know, the utility vehicle (UV) is the popular vehicle type to have today.
