will ford ever return to the mini van buissness?

Doubtful, at least anytime in the near future. Dodge/Chrysler have that segment locked up. Ford is concentrating on Crossovers in place of minivans.
 
Only if the minivan market returns. The market disappeared. Young women wanted SUV's. I had customers tell me they would never drive a minivan even when their requirements/needs were a perfect definition for such a vehicle. When I asked why, they replied, "because my mother drove a minivan!"
Ford's Marketing Dept. forecast the crossover as the market replacement. Somewhat ironic since the minivan replaced the stationwagon...many feel the crossover is just an updated stationwagon. What goes around, comes around.
