Seems dimwitted not to sell both here and there if they'll already have the tooling for both models. If they're continuing with their plan to sell all brands at one store, just keep the T&C more luxury oriented and the Caravan more plain and "kid proof", with a sporty trim available also... just like now.

Didn't realize the T&C outsold the GC 2 to 1....seem to recall Chrysler used to have the least sales of their minivans. It makes sense, though, consolidate with one and reduce marketing/etc costs...

Seems rather stupid to me.

This was all debunked a couple of months ago. I'll wait and see.

Here in Canada they can sell a Grand Caravan equipped like a T&C limited and people will buy it. I do prefer the Chrysler but people love their Caravans and would pay for them up here.

Dumb.....

Chrysler shouldn't have a van at all. They should all be Dodges for the passenger version and Rams for the cargo/fleet/airport shuttle version.

I actually agree. Chrysler should have a wagon. A real luxury wagon, not a sportwagon like the Magnum. The whole me-too attitude is what gets us products like the Blackwood and Aztek... and some products just don't translate into luxury products... like minivans. Mercedes can't seem to pull it off. Granted, Chrysler is not truly a luxury brand anymore... but having one of its better selling products a near clone of the Dodge minivan ain't helping that status.

Dodge is currently advertising the Grand Caravan as the best-selling minivan of all time. Great idea to kill it.

When Plymouth was killed, along with the Voyager, the Chrysler T&C had to move downmarket. It should go back to its roots to be the executive express, and let Dodge cover the mass market.

Actually, one of the best posts you have made in awhile sir...I completely agree.
