Minivan schminivan ... Let's just call them vans !!

Walking by about 20 late model "minivans" in the parking lot it occurs to me... these ain't "mini" anymore. The term was coined when the revolutionary Chryslers were truly small compared to traditional vans.
Now? Huh! The things are huge.
Did some research comparing 2006 Dodge Minivan vs 2006 Dodge Ram Van:
The Minivan is 2" longer than the van! And virtually identical weights.
So... I propose we just call the vans and be done with it.
