After a decade of declining sales, minivans look like they're making a comeback. The 2011 Toyota Sienna is already here, and both the 2011 Honda Odyssey and the 2011 Nissan Quest could shake up the minivan world when they debut this fall.
But what about the company that started it all? The 2010 Chrysler Town & Country -- along with its counterpart, the 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan -- were fully redesigned a couple of years ago, and together they account for nearly half of all minivans sold in the U.S. But today's competition is fiercer than ever, and after the updated Odyssey and Quest go on sale the Chrysler and Dodge twins will be among the oldest minivans on the market. Can they handle the coming competitive onslaught? I spent a week hauling the family in a 2010 Chrysler Town & Country, and while the van boasts unique and compelling features, it also suffers from some shortcomings that made me stop and think hard about endorsing this particular people mover. |
