Although crossovers and SUVs are starting to dominate the market when it comes to family cars, there are still a few minivans available that deserve your attention.

Although it may only be a little bit, the U.S. auto industry is shrinking. Over the first five months of 2017, U.S. auto sales are down by about 2 percent compared to last year, a drop of about 140,000 cars according to TTAC. This is not a huge crash by any means, especially considering 2016 was a record year for auto sales, but it does mean that some nameplates must be losing sales. So which vehicles are taking the biggest hit? Don’t expect to see any trucks or SUVs on the list, as that segment has gained about 225,000 units year-to-date, so there are positive signs in the industry. Here is a list of the top 10 volume vehicles with the biggest sales decline. For th…
