I think that is retarded. No wait.....yes, retarded, why would you pay $53G's for something that gets 9mpg at best? Probably has a 26 gallon tank x $3.45 a gallon = $89.70 for 234 miles twice a week = $9328.80 a year just in gas!
retarded.
See you at the gas station!
Buy a hybrid minivan!
Just my opinion though 
Where do you get 9 mpg? I have many family members that have them and they get around 14mpg with the 5.3L V8. Not the greatest, but also not 9 mpg.
If that is what she wants and you can afford, get it.
