Act 1
Scene 1
(Inside of a 2009 Honda Pilot. Mike Magrath and James Riswick are avoiding the triple-digit temperatures under the thin veil of evaluating interior features. Magrath clicks open the sunglass holder / child view mirror.)
Magrath:
I like this feature. There was some car, I can't remember which one, that had this feature and every time I'd hit a bump the darn thing would flip down...Sometimes it would close itself on the next bump.
Riswick:
(laughing)
Was it the Long Term Dodge Caravan?
Magrath:
Yes, it was! Did the same thing happen to you?
Riswick:
(Now occupying himself with the audio controls. Nothing but Ranchero music on the FM dial.)
No, I just asked myself what would be likely to do that and instantly I thought of our LT Caravan.
Magrath:
That's sort of sad.
Riswick:
Indeed.
Mike Magrath, Vehicle Testing Assistant @ 8,774 miles

why did you guys bother to get the Caravan when it has no redeeming qualities?

They didn't know it had such... character before they bought it. It's useful enough at cramming people and stuff for a trip, but it's apparently built by monkeys. Monkeys who've passed their prime.

It wasn't built by monkeys, that's just being mean to hard-working autoworkers. It was designed and budgeted for by monkeys.
Having said that, I'm taking off for a Chrysler press event. I'll send them your best.

"hard-working autoworkers"
LOL, I used to live in Oshawa (GM town). Hard working and autoworkers is a contradiction in terms.
