We drove 3 of the most popular minivans - and the winner was clear

• We drove the Honda Odyssey, the Toyota Sienna, and the Chrysler Pacifica.
• We compared cargo space, infotainment systems, and the driving dynamics of each vehicle.
• There were a lot of similarities, but one of the minivans stood out among the rest.

Over the past few months, I've been spending some quality time with the three most important minivans in the US market.

It's easy to conclude that all minivans are the same - but they aren't! Each carmaker brings its own mojo to the task of building these versatile family haulers, which sell decently decades after the vehicle type was introduced, but which are stigmatized and often overlooked in favor of SUVs.

Our warriors in the Great Minivan Battle of 2017 are the Honda Odyssey, the Toyota Sienna, and the Chrysler Pacifica (formerly the Town & Country).

Can you predict the winner? I thought I could, but there were some surprises along the way.
