Yeah, luxury vans routinely don't sell as well because people aren't going to buy nice expensive things that are going to lug around kids wiping their sticky hands all over everything and all their toys, strollers, and junk.
I used to work for Chrysler back in the day, I know the sort of condition most Caravans / Grand Caravans came back in when a family with young kids owned them. It was a petri dish of chaos and they got used. Grand Caravans loaded to their highest were about $45k CAD before you got into the Town & Country (which really didn't sell well but was a 'luxury' version of the Grand Caravan). Do people really want to spend Land Rover money on something that's going to end up with fruit juice and bits of Froot Loops mashed and absorbed into every intricate stitch on your fine leather hides?
There's an argument to be made for making minivans nice (ie: not a Metris), but taking it to the extent of 'luxury' is probably missing why people buy them. If you're inclined to buy a minivan with a Mercedes logo then yeah, make it luxurious because that's what you're selling but it's going to be a low-volume mover.
