Didn't you guys know that? Could be. Although not for me, they certainly are popular with the mothers of young kids. My daughter has a Grand Caravan ... an '05, I think. She has two boys aged 6 and 8 plus two fully grown bloodhound dogs. She wouldn't part with her "Eggmobile" for anything and after inspecting it one day I can understand why from her point of view. The rear seats fold flat, there are storage compartments everywhere it seems and she hauls the kids, groceries, dogs, furniture, ... whatever everyday. She and her husband have taken 3000 mile vacation trips in it several times, packed to the gills with their "stuff". So far, it has performed flawlessly, gets decent gas mileage and has about 80k miles on it. Good think Chrysler insisted on "loose" tolerances. <g> RCE |
