Dodge in danger of losing #1 minivan title
Chrysler seems to have lost a sense of who they are and where they come from. Where is the small 4 cylinder group that could compete with the rice burners? Where are the small pickups like the old Dakota [the new Dakota is bigger than my 83 Ram] The mini van has laways been Chryslers strong suite. Why don't they do some reverse engineering on some of the things the competetion is doing while keeping everything within the spirit of what a Chrysler/Dodge really is? I miss the cars like FWD Charger, Daytona, Spirit, etc, etc. I like the fact we are getting a RWD V8 coupe but Chrysler needs more than just a few niche cars to sell to a select few. We need a car [cars and trucks] for the masses. Falling behind in the mini van is unexceptable. I really wish I could have a shot as CEO for just a month!
The Caravan beat the Honda by a few thousand on strong sales in December compared to a weak month for Honda. If you compare all Chrysler/Dodge minivans to Honda it isn't even a contest.
