5spd in a Minivan?

[Red Baron]

clip There was the first generation Honda Oddysey, and the trio of mini-minivans sold by Eagle, Mitsubishi, and Plymouth... What were they called?? Expo, Colt Vista, and I can't recall the other name.... clip

I know I'm way off, but remember the Plymouth Cricket?

My friend has a 5-speed SWB Caravan, circa 1994 or 1995. I've borrowed it, and it's surprisingly zippy, even with a 2.4l, but the shift linkage is atrociously vague.

There are several guys out on the "net" who have screaming Turbo Caravans that they drag race with. www.turbovan.net is a good starting place.

The Chrysler Minivans are still offered in a stick, just not here. Check out the UK specs http://www.chrysler.co.uk/chrysler/versions.aspx?ID=355,8,28

I had a Eagle Summit Wagon, 5 spd, AWD. It was fun to drive, didn't feel as large as a Mini Van, had a sliding rear door and the second row seat didn't just fold flat, but also fold towards the front driver seats to allow for more cargo room.

You all know that even if the 5 is offered with a standard outside the US, it won't be here.

N. American-spec Mazda5 will come with a 5-spd manual as standard equipment, 100% confirmed.

the dodge caravans came with a 5 speed I believe... very very rare, but they were offered.
