Nothing I've seen offers the convenience of a minivan.
If you use the 3rd row you have no trunk and if it does have a 3rd row and a trunk it's a monstrosity that can't be parked and gets awful gas mileage.
Am I wrong?
Depends on the vehicle.
I have a Seqouia and I would say it's a little harder to park. Most of the time, if I can't fit in a spot, it's also too small for a minivan or full-size car. (a Suburban or Expedition EL is probably a different story...)
Another thing to consider, a large SUV has significantly more seating room than a minivan. My middle row is huge, it can comfortably fit 3 large adults (or 3 big carseats) and my "cramped" 3rd row is probably comparable to the second row of a minivan.
