First of all I do not think that I have EVER seen so many Dodge Caravans or Chrysler T&C's in one place my entire life! There were not hundred of them on the island there were thousands of them in about every configuration.
Anyhow I was forced into driving duty for the wedding party and they had rented a 2010 T&C Touring man I forgot how cheap the interior and unrefined that van is... Compared to the 2011 there seriously is no comparison in any aspect of how much better the new interior and drive train are. When I had my 08 I was pleased with the 3.8 over the 3.3 I had in the wrecked 08 but man now going back to the 3.8 from the 3.6 that engine is so unimpressive. I about killed us because I made a turn that I would be more than comfortable taking in the '11 yup driving dynamics much different!
The only sad thing is all of those 09-10's that are over there and so many people renting them getting a poor impression of what the new van's are all about, all I heard on the trip was how crappy the van was (they own a new sienna) and all I could think was how much I agreed :eekkkk:
Anyhow just some thoughts...
