== Description ==

The Minivan resembles a fourth generation (2001-2007) [[wikipedia: Dodge Caravan | Dodge Caravan]] or [[wikipedia: Chrysler Voyager | Chrysler Voyager]], albeit somewhat wider; it also resembles the [[wp:Ford Windstar|Ford Windstar]], appropriate considering that Vapid is the GTA IV analogue of Ford. It can be found with or without a roof spoiler (although both cases feature a "Minivan Sport" badge on the rear liftgate). The Minivan is the basis for the GTA IV [[Cabby]], which has its own "Minivan Cabby" liftgate badge. The Minivan's generic name is probably a parody of the Dodge Caravan's.

The fact that the Minivan is badged as both a [[Vapid]] and a [[Schyster]] (the latter seen on the Cabby) may be an allusion to the Dodge Caravan being sold under different names (Chrysler Town and Country and Plymouth Grand Voyager); it may suggest a partnership between Vapid and Schyster; or it may suggest a larger mother company like [[wikipedia:General Motors|General Motors]] which produces the same vehicles under different names. Alternatively, the Cabby's "Limited Vapid Design" badging suggests that the Cabby could be manufactured under licence by Schyster, or could be a rebadge of the Vapid Minivan.

== Performance ==

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 (~~100km~~/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 acceptable, although three to four direct frontal hits can render it undrivable. Engine build quality is also acceptable, though again, after only a few hits, it may stall/catch fire.
