They say that fashions are cyclical. We can see this in how our way of dressing has evolved, but it is not always the case. The automobile sector is one of those that likes to forget trends and there are several examples. Who does not come to mind? convertible that were so successful at the dawn of this century. Or the minivans that attracted large and non-large families. And of the sedans, those elegant sedans with classic and elegant lines.
All of them are segments that seem forgotten. Some more and some less but they do not have specific weight in the sales mixes of the brands. One of the fastest disappearing is that of minivans and the proof is in how they have been disappearing without making a sound.

But also, he is not the only one missing...
Do you remember the Renault Espace? Well, the minivan par excellence has also been disappearing depending on which markets. Of course, as has happened with the Grand Scénic, the French firm has not offered details of its possible "death". In our country and his native country it is still available, so if you want one you will have to run before it is discontinued. While, It's time to wait for a real SUV to arrive that is capable of replacing them...
