Least expensive minivan with blind spot detection?

Sad thing is on most vehicles you have to "opt" for the highest trim level in order to get this feature, even as an option.

I imagine that at some point it will work its way down the food chain to less expensive packages--the way backup cameras are. Right now, I think my best option is to buy a 1-2y/o Chrysler touring-L with the safety package, or buy a basic new minivan and add an aftermarket kit for $500+.

my dad taught me how to eliminate the driver's side blind spot; lean forward while looking through your side mirror. that car in the blind spot will come into full view. try it.
