The Minivan is powered by a 24V engine, presumably a V6 with 4 valves per cylinder, paired to a 4 speed gearbox in a RWD configuration. Acceleration is very poor, taking upwards of 10 seconds to reach 60mph (100 km/h). The top speed of the Minivan is also very poor, putting it on par with the [[Willard]] as the slowest passenger vehicle. The suspension is moderately firm, giving the Minivan ample support in the curves, albeit with drastic understeer. Braking is good, and ABS is standard across the line. Accident deformation is marginal and a head on crash with a wall can not only damage the outside the car, but the inside as well. Pedestrian safety is poor though. The shape of the car suggests that if involved in a crash with a pedestrian, there is a high risk of being pulled under the wheel and crushed to death. | The Minivan is powered by a 24V engine, presumably a V6 with 4 valves per cylinder, paired to a 4 speed gearbox in a RWD configuration.

Accident deformation is marginal and a head on crash with a wall can not only damage the outside the car, but the inside as well. However it takes 3 to 4 direct frontal hits at a high speed to cause the car to stall or catch fire . Pedestrian safety is poor though.
