That is a smooth looking car, very nice. I'll end up painting my car probably next year, but I'll probably go with a dark grey or silver.
Guess we don't have a whole lot of Hondas around here.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I have a 96 Intrepid and Evol has an 07 Fusion, but my parents left their van at the house we're renting, so I've been driving that a bit (my AC doesn't work, lol). You get used to all that space, especially with 3 kids, but I prefer my car- it actually accelerates. Plus, people feel like their goal in life is to pull out in front of you when you're in a minivan, then they go 10 over like you should be ok with it, and passing in a non-passing zone sucks in a van!!!!

It's actually a 2011 Quest. And it's amazing. Really comfortable and great amount of features that make the driving experience more enjoyable (no, I did not copy this from the sales brochure).
I don't mind speed. I don't think minivans and SUVs should be faster than the average vehicle. When I want to go fast, I go REALLY fast. I had a '99 Honda RC51. With a few things here and there I could get speeds up to 160-170 mph. Gravity would make me crap my pants. Good times.
I still get my speed fix every now and then but just over 120 mph is enough.

What kind of minivan? Our Nissan Quest isn't a speed demon but it's no slouch, either.
It's an old 2000 Caravan. It goes fast enough, it's just the acceleration that's shit. When you need to pass because there's only 1/4 mile of visible road on the windy 2 lane highways that make up the roads in our area, you're pretty screwed. Especially because people see minivan and assume "slow," so even if they're going 45 in a 55, they'll speed up to 80 to keep you from passing (then drop back down to 45 when you get back behind them).
I much MUCH prefer our cars- and they both have huge trunks, so it's rare we need anything bigger!
Of course if you're lucky enough not to live in a state full of assholes, a van would be fine.
