When it comes to personal preferences, I learned quite a while ago not to care or worry about what other people think. The smile on our faces should tell them all they need to know.
When people bring it up, I just point out things like the less-than-five star crash tests of the Odyssey, Sienna, and other minivan/SUV's compared to the full 5-star Camaro. Almost all suffer in rollover, some in frontal crash.
Then I point out the much shorter stopping distance I have thanks to those brembo's, superior accident avoidance/handling, and the fact that I still get ~16/24mpg.
If they still have a problem, then I point to the (5-star 21/30mpg) Equinox family war wagon in the other half of the garage.... After that, I just blow their doors off at the next light. Safely, of course.
