Chrysler CS Concept...
I found this while going through my files on my website... this was the concept model of what the Pacifica was going to look like. However, crash testing only gave the front end of the vehicle a four-star rating, so Chrysler went back to drawing board and came up w/ the Pacifica, and the "CS" was history!

RE: Chrysler CS Concept...
A little Pacifica history...
The start of the Pacifica, started with the introduction of the 1999 Chrysler Citadel Concept. Powered by the 300M's 3.5L V-6 and an all-wheel drive system similar to the current Pacifica, however there was additional power added by electric motors on the front wheels, which also improved fuel mileage. Also the concept had minivan rear sliding doors.
When actual design studies and testing came about, the Chrysler CS, began testing for production. But as I said before because Chrysler wanted a five star frontal crash vehicle, the CS design was ditched for the now current Pacifica. The two pictures above are the only known photos of this vehicle.
