Replying to: jchan2 (Jan 08, 2006 6:43 am) Hopefully it's not some redressed Durango interior with extra wood and chrome. The QX56 and LX470 are guilty of doing this with their lower cousins.   Cadillac made the same mistake back in 2002 but now the Escalade interior looks different from the Yukon/Tahoe and has a high quality look.   The full size luxury SUV is really getting competitive, with the new Escalade already here, a new Navigator coming and a LX470 replacement not too far away.

http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/01/10/detroit-2006-2007-chrysler-aspen/   Sorry rcf8000, it's got a column mounted shifter - and even worse the Durango interior.   I don't find the interior to be as good as stylish as the Navigator, Escalade, or LX470. Come on Chrysler what were you thinking?   Well...at least the exterior styling is nice. Replies to this message: rcf8000 (Jan 10, 2006 8:37 am)

#34 of 86 Should be good enough for plenty by davidc1 Jan 11, 2006 (6:55 am)
If I had to choose between Durango and Aspen, it will be a no brainer. I think this was a good move for Chrysler. Someone like me who currently drives a Grand Cherokee and looking forward moving up, Apen is very appealing. I would not have considered the Durango but will consider the Aspen.

I think the exterior apperance alone will bring some new buyers in. Plus this didn't cost them much to throw together.   It looks a lot more refined than a Durango, that's for sure.
#36 of 86 Looks good by 79customd Jan 14, 2006 (4:02 am)
There is no doubt that that Chrysler Aspen looks refined. Great move for DC. The only thing that needs improving which the Durango does have is good looking rims. Those rims are from LHSs, and Concordes. As far as function. The durango is a solid foundation to build Chryslers first full sized SUV.

Replying to: 79customd (Jan 14, 2006 4:02 am) I think that is one handsome, well balanced SUV. Even though its bloodline is from the Durango, it has a more elegant look. Even the faux wood is somewhat convincing in the photos. I believe it will be a winner in the marketplace. What they have to do is put in the Liberty diesel engine for those fuel economy minded folks.

Replying to: jonpnj (Jan 14, 2006 5:28 am) The Durango is supposed to be getting a hybrid version in the next year, so that'll probably be used in the Aspen. Perfect for those fuel economy minded folks. Replies to this message: 79customd (Jan 14, 2006 11:12 am) steelydan0613 (Feb 25, 2006 12:11 pm)
#39 of 86 Aspen vs Tahoe by rcf8000 Jan 14, 2006 (6:13 am)
I think that Chrysler has a great opportunity to promote the Aspen as a competitor to the new Tahoe. Consider that the Aspen has fold-into-floor third row seating, more third row headroom and legroom, more cargo room behind the third row, and more HP and torque. It'll probably cost less, too.
