I happened to be reading one of my favorite columnists this weekend: Dan Neil. Dan writes the Rumble Seat column for the Wall Street Journal. This weekend Dan wrote a follow up to his 2018 Honda Odyssey review, writing about the soon-to-be-released VW ID.Buzz an all-electric follow up to the classic VW microvans.

I love Dan’s wit, which for me, is more about Dan’s offbeat humor and social commentary than the cars he reviews. As Dan said in the original Honda minivan article, “For parents of young children, nothing beats a minivan. No vehicular helpmate is ever quite as there for you. Irrespective of your clinging to a previous automotive identity—the Jeep Wrangler permanently parked in the driveway, sad!—now that you are a parent, the functional advantages of a minivan are dispositive, starting with the magic of sliding side doors…” No wonder he’s won a Pulitzer!
