entering the car buying market - are companies not making minivans anymore?

I was considering the Ford Windstar, but it's not on their web site. I have an Acura sedan in which the lease is ending. I don't like the MDX for what it costs, it did nothing for me. I am considering a Honda Odyssy, but remember going to honda before Acura and all they tried to do was nickel and dime me and the Accord they tried to force on me costs more than what I paid to lease the acura, which was rediculous. I don't like Nissan at all b/c of a horrible buying experience with my last of 3 Nissan vehicles so the Quest is out.

I am thinking about the Ford Edge, but want to make sure it'll suffice with 2 car seats and a double stroller. #2 is coming in a few weeks so it's something I need to seriously consider. Thoughts? I was surprised not to see the windstar on Ford's web site, but I haven't been in the car market for 3 years and never thought I'd shop for a minivan.

I have the toyota Sienna ,and absolutely love it !! Go check it out if you wan't a minivan ! I think an SUV would be totally fine with 2 carseats if you also wanted to look into that instead !

My feeling on bad experiences with dealerships is to go to another dealership. If there is a vehicle you *think* you might like - go for a test drive. DH & I have been car shopping for the past two weekends - we have yet to meet a really high pressure salesperson. We've pulled our big stroller from his trunk and tried out the fit in the cars we've been looking at without any hassle from at any dealer.

On another note, DH & I bought a new car 2 1/2 years ago - the salesperson at the Toyota dealership that sold him the car doesn't work there anymore.

I have the Dodge Grand Caravan SXT and I absolutely love it. It has tons of safety features and storage out the ying yang.
