reduced by average of $3,000: http://wwwsg.daimlerchrysler.com/SD7DEV/GMS/TEMPLATES/GMS_PRESS_R- - - - ELEASE/0,2941,0-6-51114-1-1-text-1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0,00.html |

| very competitive to Oddy EX, Quest SL, and Sienna LE. Freestar will get buffeted definitely. Let's see what GM will do? I believe Dodge Grand SXT real deal will be about $25,000 before tax. | |

This is likely a good move on their part. It will at least get the attention of the buying public and get the less informed buyer in the door who might dismiss the DC offerings as too expensive relative to Ody and Sienna(even though they are not more expensive if you consider the large rebates currently in effect on the 2004's). Net result will be less rebates, but out the door prices will not be significantly different. I am glad to see they are not abandoning their short wheel base versions and also are giving customers the choice if they don't want to pay for the stow and go seats in the long wheel base versions. DC will have the bases covered from the stripped down 4 cylinder short wheel base versions to the fully loaded T&C, and it appears that you will be able to get a reasonably priced long wheel base version that does include the stow and go seats. |

| it'll be competitive with the Sienna, Quest and upcoming 2005 Odyssey. | |
| except for T&Cs according to newspaper reports. Infact the prices are being raised slightly for other models. DC Canada feel the prices are already competitive enough up here! Hopefully, out of the door prices will not be significantly different north of the border too. | |
| I guess DCX wants to throw on less rebates in the US. | |
| I stopped by my neighborhood Dodge dealer in the Twin Cities today. I asked the first sales rep I saw when the '05 vans were due in. He said "four to six months." I told him I had read that they would be available in March. He asked the sales manager, who said they have two '05 Caravans in stock, a SE and a SXT. I didn't look at them because I want the Stow 'n Go feature. The sales manager checked the computer and said their first GCs were due to be shipped from the factory in mid-February, to arrive in early March. I asked the sales manager if he knew how the spare tire would be handled, e.g. run-flats. He said "that's a good question!". Anyone know the answer to that one? I hope Chrysler did the smart thing and put a temp spare into the side of the trunk, behind a panel. I think there would be enough room, and even if it would stick out a bit I'd prefer that to expensive and hard-to-replace run-flats. | |

Wow, so they're producing these things, are shipping on trucks, and they will not be sold until March? Wow, I've seen these things leave the dealer with private plates already. Maybe living here in Detroit is a good thing, huh? And yes, these were the new Stow 'n Go vans. |
