Chrysler
Town & Country Preview –
In these days of record-high
gas prices, the minivan
would seem a likely choice
for SUV-weary families
looking for better gas
mileage as well as space to
haul kids and their gear --
but minivan sales are
sliding.
"From a functional and
financial perspective, you
shouldn't look at anything
but a minivan," said Jesse
Toprak, executive director
of industry analysis for
Edmunds.com. "But for
many it comes down to taste
and fashion."
Minivans, which can get
up to 25 miles per gallon
and carry seven passengers,
still have that lingering
soccer mom image and that
has some gas-conscious
buyers instead choosing
vehicles in emerging
segments such as crossovers
and hybrids. Others, who
aren't switching, are
holding on to their minivans
longer than before thanks to
the slumping housing market
and sour economy.
Nothing beats
a minivan for practicality. SUVs, wagons, crossovers? They
each have strengths, but when it comes to carrying people
and cargo, none can do it like a minivan. We can thank Chrysler
for introducing us to this multi-purpose vehicular invention
more than 20 years ago, spawning a field of competitors
that has grown fat and, more recently, a bit thinner with
the announced departure of GM and Ford models. Unlike those
domestics, Chrysler continues to fight on with the Japanese
and Koreans, packing an especially powerful punch with the
2008 Town & Country’s new engine, new styling, and one of
the most versatile interiors ever offered. Models go on
sale this fall. he minivan has always been one of the most
dependable and affordable vehicles on the road. Many models
offer room for eight passengers along with excess cargo
and storage area. The newer minivan models now include a
wide variety of perks, like dual side sliding doors, a remote
controlled back-hatch and dual zone climate control. Minivan
Rentals is proud to offer a variety of Mini Van Rentals
minivans at affordable rental prices. Minivans are a great
rental option, especially if you are going to be traveling
with children. Minivans are safe, comfortable and easy to
drive, so go ahead and reserve your Minivan Rentals minivan
today!
What
Chrysler Says
George Murphy,
senior vice president of Chrysler Group Marketing, says,
“The 2008 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan
offer the best amenities for today’s busy families. With
a dual DVD system that plays different media at the same
time, pinpoint LED lighting to red by, a table to play games
or finish homework, a voice-activated navigation system
with real-time traffic, power sliding doors and liftgate
and YES Essentials cloth seats, every member of the family
will eNJoy their journey.”
What
We Think
With the
exception of the 300 sedan, which has been on the market
for quite some time, Chrysler is running a little lean on
hits. The Dodge Durango-based Aspen SUV isn’t exactly flying
off the lots, and the redesigned Sebring has received mixed
responses, with the pendulum swinging toward the negative.
We’re expecting the 2008 Town & Country to receive a much
more favorable reception, not necessarily because of its
boxier styling, but because of the engineers’ ability to
provide innovative interior design without drastically changing
existing dimensions. This new version matches the competition
and then some, and remains one of the premier examples of
practical family transportation. Now, if they’d work on
pumping out more than 240 horses….
Minivans
have long been stereotyped as the "Soccer Mom" vehicle but
a minivan is actually very useful in a variety of situations.
Many minivans come equipped with removable bench seats,
which allow a minivan to transform into a compact moving
truck! The carpeted interior guards against nasty nicks
scratches, while the rear and side doors make for convenient
loading ports. Minivans are also comfortable people-movers;
with increased leg and shoulder room, minivans are great
for transporting sports teams to tournaments, band members
to concerts and family members to reunions! Learning how
to drive a minivan is as easy as pie… a few simple trips
around the block and you'll be ready to embark on your journey!
What
it Looks Like
The face
is taller, the headlights more rectangular, and the short
wheelbase version has been scrapped. Along the flanks, designers
have added more pronounced wheel flares, less curvaceous
sheet metal, and what looks to be a higher beltline. The
tailgate is flatter, offering less visual detail, and is
offset by square taillight lenses which replace the wedged
lamps of the 2008 model. Compared to the model it replaces,
the 2008 Chrysler Town & Country has an extra two inches
of wheelbase, is two inches longer, is more than an inch
narrower, offers nearly the same cargo space, and compares
evenly in terms of interior room (except for losing more
than an inch of second row leg room).
What’s
Inside
Inside
is where you’ll find the
2008 Chrysler Town & Country rentals
golden jewel. It’s more of a collection of goodies rather
than just one item. Take, for instance, the optional Swivel
’n Go second row buckets that can be turned 180 degrees
to face the power folding and stowable third row bench and
available center activity table, the front sliding console,
the integrated second row child booster seat, the adjustable
LED reading lights, the stain-resistant cloth seats (leather
optional), or the dishwasher-safe cupholders. That’s in
addition to a DVD system that can simultaneously play two
videos, three-row side-curtain airbags, available Stow ’n
Go seating, rear power windows, and an available 506-watt
stereo that promises to drown-out noisy kids (“Sorry, Mommy
can’t hear you!”).
Minivans
are also designed to keep you and your passenger's safe
in the event of an accident. Minivans are built up higher
than the majority of the cars on the road giving them an
increased level of visibility. Minivans are also built sturdy,
performing well in many crash testing scenarios. Most models
of Mini Van Rentals minivans come equipped with ABS brakes
and a complex air bag system designed to protect not only
the front occupants but also the back occupants of the van
in the case of an emergency.
Minivans
are efficient and dependable vehicles that have been proven
to handle well in almost any type of environment. A minivan
rental from Minivan Rentals makes a great choice… for any
occasion! Plus the prices at
Minivan Rentals Miami Florida
are always competitive so you know you're getting a solid
rate. So the next time your car is in the shop and you need
to pick up your in-laws from the airport, why not rent
a spacious minivan from
Minivan Rentals!
Minivans
are great vehicle to travel long distances in. Whether you're
traveling across the state or from one Borough to the next,
Mini Van Rentals minivans offer a comfortable and spacious
interior perfect for any trip! Most models come equipped
with AM/FM radios, tape deck and/or CD players, air conditioning
and adjustable front bucket seats. Plus the powerful engine
helps to get from point A to point B faster, saving you
and your passengers valuable time. The interior of a minivan
is full of many convenient storage facilities including
cup holders, seat storage bins and spacious glove compartments.
These handy compartments allow you to store valuable objects
like eyeglasses, jewelry and cell phones without risking
misplacement or costly breakage.
Why
it Matters
Fewer folks
are buying minivans these days, due largely to the mommy-mobile
stigma and proliferation of crossover models. Couple that
with new or redesigned models from the Japanese and Koreans,
and it’s easy to comprehend how hard Chrysler has to work
for each minivan sale. They’ve trudged along with some interior
innovations and robust incentives, but a redesigned vehicle
is what has really been needed. The 2008 Town & Country,
host to a bevy of unique interior features and a new style,
should not only spell relief for Chrysler van fans waiting
for a new look, but also may give pause to shoppers ready
to drop ink on a Honda or Hyundai.
What’s
Under the Hood
Chrysler
and Dodge are offering the 2008 line of minivans – the Town
& Country and the Grand Caravan – with three engine choices.
They include a 3.3-liter, flex-fuel V6 that’s good for 170
horsepower and works with a four-speed automatic transmission;
a 3.8-liter V6 that produces 198 horses and is mated to
a six-speed automatic tranny; and a new 4.0-liter V6 that
pumps out 240 horsepower and is mated to the six-speed transmission.
The all-wheel drive option has been dropped, so all of the
new vans put power to the front wheels only, which depending
on the trim level, will measure 16 or 17 inches in diameter.
Over
the years minivans have gained immense popularity, outranking
smaller sedans and pick up trucks in numerous competitions.
Minivans are efficient and powerful vehicles, with the ability
to tow small trailers and transport mid-weight cargo. If
you're in the midst of moving, why not
rent a minivan
from Minivan Rentals? This way you'll be able to cut back
on the cost of hiring movers but transporting the majority
of the smaller items yourself. For more information on reserving
your very own Minivan Rentals
