正好看到一篇讲minivan
The minivan is the least cool vehicle ever designed, yet the most useful, Ian Bogost writes. It offers “the best value for the most function to a plurality of American drivers, … can cart seven passengers or more in comfort if not style, haul more cargo than many larger trucks, and do so for a sticker price roughly a quarter cheaper than competing options.”
Yet it is often purchased under duress, when a family finds itself outgrowing its cooler car, which is no longer big enough for Costco runs and car seats. The phrase “Maybe we should get a minivan” is uttered with an air of resignation.
