Re: Chrysler - Should We Buy The Van Now Or Wait?
Have you heard the new Ford ads? They are touting that they are the only American car manufacturers that did not need a bail out!
Then they go on to say, " Buy the truck you want, not the one that a beaurocrat wants you to buy".
Loved the ad!
Buy Ford, Hoover!

Re: Chrysler - Should We Buy The Van Now Or Wait?
Thanks to all for advise. We are going to hold off a few months. Chrysler is indeed going into bankruptcy. I am betting there will be new incentives to at least match what they are offering now.

Re: Chrysler - Should We Buy The Van Now Or Wait?
Finally made a purchase. Honda Odyssey it is! Fully loaded Touring model. Leather, DVD, Navigation, AC adaptor, sunroof, backup camera, sensor parking etc.
More $$ than we wanted to spend but a fabulous minivan.

Re: Chrysler - Should We Buy The Van Now Or Wait?
Variable Cylinder Management™ (VCM®)This VCM® engine is programmed to run on 3, 4 or 6 cylinders, based on the power requirement (compared to only a 3- or 6-cylinder mode in the previous-generation VCM® engines). Powered by the intelligence of i-VTEC® technology, VCM® quickly and seamlessly activates or deactivates 2 or 3 cylinders. So you get the best of both worlds: V-6 power when accelerating or climbing, as well as the efficiency of a smaller engine while cruising.

Re: Chrysler - Should We Buy The Van Now Or Wait?
What Edmunds.com saysThough scheduled for a complete redesign next year, the 2009 Honda Odyssey remains our favorite choice in the minivan segment.

Re: Chrysler - Should We Buy The Van Now Or Wait?
Eureka,
I thought you said your wife would not buy a Honday Odyssey????? For years all of the reviews I have read (and I read a lot of them as I read Motor Trend, Car & Driver, and Automobile magazine) put the Honda as the #1 minivan.
However like you I really have liked the Chrysler one. No doubt the Honda is better made and the last few years they finally made it look better and it is now about the same size as the American mini vans. I think you made a good choice.
I raise three kids with two minivans during their growing years. First a Ford Aerostar when they were little then after two years in an Infinit J30 in the mid 90's which my wife loved but was too small for three kids on trips we got a Ford Winstar van. SUV's have been all the rage the last few years but nothing beats a mini van with kids because of the ability to move from the front seat to the rear if needed while moving. I also always made sure to get the four captains chairs so kids or grownups could recline the two rear seats to rest on trips.

Well she also said no more kids... let's face it, it's hard to resist my charm. 
Actually, the issue she was concerned with was the features. When we bought the last van a new T&C, they were one of the only ones with the power sliding doors and builtin DVD etc.
Also, atfer researching, we discovered the Crysler minivan products took a nosedive in most rating catagories - including safety. The Honda rates higher or as high as any in all catagories except for road noise, where Toyota is better.

Randy Wayne,
When I moved to Nashville in 1999 I had to go to Bowling Gree KY on buisness so I scheduled a tour of the Corvette factory while I was there. I let my 12 year old son skip school that day and took him with me.
We had a great time and at the end of the tour they picked my son to be the first to start a new Corvette for the first time that was at the end of the assembly line and to test its horn and wipers. Then they gave him a certificate for helping build a Corvette. It was funny because three or four guys in their 30's and 40's and been waving their hands to be picked and when he got that cetificate they were like little school kids looking on with envy. LOL!!!
I had corvette fever for about six months after that tour. What was so bad is that my wife actually agreed to let me buy one. However financial reality prevailed (the cost of having three teenage kids to raise) and I didn't take the plunge.
