i think aerocolorado is right. about the time they stopped making the aero, all the rave was about a "minivan that drives like a car" and "car like feel" etc. all the young moms dont want to drive a minivan, so they made em all "feel like cars" my friends wife is in this crowd of immature women. she insits on having sporty cars in spite of having a family with 3 little girls to haul around. they at one point traded their dodge intrepid for a grand caravan. it was really nice. but she kept saying, ugh, i feel like an old person, ugh! i want my car back. so they traded that in on a newer intrepid and she shut up for about a year when she started bitchin about not having enough room for stuff. WELL DUH! you got 2 car seats and a booster stuffed into the back of a four-door! so they went out and got a newer dodge caravan sport. it looks cool, and is pretty sporty. but this year she started whining again. so my buddy got his "teenager trapped in a grown-ups body" wife a honda to go zipping around in to and from work.

its women like that that killed the aerostar.

men LOVE it cause they are tough as nails and simple to understand and cheap to own and yeah, they feel sorta trucky! whats wrong with feeling the grunt in the seat? I like that. I think ford added the curvy dash in like 92 or 93 to try and satisfy the ladies with some new curves, but that wasnt enough. I liked having a flat dash in our 91. you could keep alot of crap up there!

all i want is a flip forward nose.

From what I have read, The Factorys are going to start pushing Full Size Vans.

The clock has turned again full circle. They are going to start offering all kinds of custom options.

When they first came out, they acquired the nickname DUSTBUSTER. Then came the disasterous ad campane linking the Aero with the Shuttle.

I still like mine.

As for cost to Ford, I would think that it would be minimal by borrowing parts from the Ranger/Explorer line. Drivetrain, interior, and front end is there already, and just use the old deminsions for the rest. A new van to resurect the declining mini-van market (and to change the stigma of it).

Yes he has,I'm impressed,I have a '97 XLT.and I'd buy a new Aero in a heartbeat.This is my 2nd,my first was a '92 XLT.I love this van. I'm not alone ,under the bridge here there are a lot of the Aero's on the road handling the toughest weather and numerous in use as work vans,even the US postoffice has a fleet of pretty white Aero's.
