Maybe the Metris is simply viewed as too commercial for them. Me, I love the Euro style vans.
I wanted the Ford Transit Connect but it was 1. Too small and 2. Too expensive for what they were offering. From $33,995, the Metris passenger version appears to be a fantastic value.
But I'll probably end up with a preowned Odyssey EX/EX-RES/EX-L or Sienna SE.
