Chevy Uplander vs. Dodge Caravan

[vellamint]

Anyone know which one of these would more comfortably seat my family of 6 (4 teenagers).......and we would also need to fit 8 suitcases on the trek to and from the airport......

Thanks.

I own an Uplander and like the interior space a little more than the Caravans, but it's not all that significant. However, having rented both while on vacation, I would say that the Caravan is better for luggage. Since the Caravan has the fold away rear seat, the rear cargo space is huge to allow for the seat storage. Much better than the Uplander's cargo area.
So, I think 6 people will be fine in either, but the Caravan will fit the 8 suitcases the best.

I would agree that the dodge caravan with the stow and go seat gives you much more room than the uplander. We had an Uplander on our last trip with 3 kids 2, 6, 9, 5 suitcases, two umbrella strollers and a couple of carryons and we just made it. With other trips we had a grand Caravan and it was a better fit.
