Pre-SUV era minivans entered the chat.

While I agree with you, there were very few USDM two-row tall-roof cars, and I think the only one that sold even remotely well was the Chrysler Magic Wagon, because the others (the Civic Wagovan, whatever Nissan sold) were gutless.

The cars that really sell well are compact and mid-size crossovers like the CRV and RAV/4. Minivans aren't quite the same thing, and the US never really got MPVs that crossovers basically are.

I do agree that minivans are almost always better than large crossovers, but they're not as popular, cost more to make and retail for lower margins, which is why OEMs don't push them.
