Replying to: jchan2 (Jan 14, 2006 8:17 am) Since production of the Aspen is so far off, I doubt that anyone knows what the price is going to be. But here's my guess: $2000 more than a comparably equiped Durango. That still keeps it below a Tahoe LT. Replies to this message: jchan2 (Jan 15, 2006 8:25 pm)

Replying to: navigator89 (Jan 14, 2006 6:11 am) Not as much as you would think tho. Chevy tried hybrid versions in there Silverado 1500 and only wound up with 1mpg better than a cheaper more common, easier to work on petrol engine. Expect similar results in the Durango hybrid.

I have a 76 Aspen that I only use during the summer months. If this new one looks as good and stands up as long as mine has, you could say that Chrysler has done a good job. Though I realize not to many people drive 76 Aspens.

Replying to: rcf8000 (Jan 14, 2006 8:32 am) I saw a few in Detroit earlier today. Not bad, but I didn't get to spend much time as there was a small crowd around it. (I didn't even see the Camaro, since at all times there was at least a huge crowd around it)

Replying to: 79customd (Jan 14, 2006 11:12 am) 79customd, I read a road test review on the Chevy Silverado Hybrid, and the Chevy spokesman stated that the intention of the hybrid was not just to get better mpg, but to be a "building contractors workhorse."   Apparently, the onboard generator in the Chevy can power all sorts of heavy-duty saws, etc. , eliminating the need for these contractor guys to lug around a separate gas generator.   I this case, the "battery pack" works whether the Silverado is moving or not!

Replying to: rsholland (Jun 07, 2005 5:11 pm) I agree. They shouldnt be making fwd jeeps or chrystler SUVs. They need to keep a defined image so regular consumers will know the difference. They don't want to end up like GM where their vehicles are all nearly identical give them no defining line up. I think chrysler is doing this to compete with full size SUVs like the Escalade. They should concentrate on crossovers,sedans,and possibly a few hybrids. -W23
#47 of 86 Interior Pictures by andrewmchorney Aug 02, 2006 (11:33 am)
Hello   I am wondering if anyone has pictures of the interior colors. I know the two combinations are two-tone Slate Gray and Dark Khaki with Light Greystone. These are the same colors as the 2007 Durango. It will help me decide.   Andrew

Replying to: jahosk (Sep 04, 2006 12:22 pm) I have not heard anything from my Dodge dealer who also sells Chrysler vehicles. I am expecting my 2007 Dodge Durango order in 3 weeks.
#50 of 86 Aspen's are arriving by mayher Sep 05, 2006 (12:53 pm)
Drove past a Chrysler dealer today and saw an Aspen sitting out front. IMHO Chrysler missed the boat. This is nothing more than a thinly veiled reskinned Durango. List on this Limited was just over 40K. The dash assembly was lifted directly out of the Durango,complete with the hard grainy plastic and shiny cheap wood. The leather seats were not the fine corinthian leather of old. In their place were coarse textured two tone leather seats that would have been at home in the Aspen of years gone by. The interior in general was not what you would expect to find in a $40K + SUV. The exterior lacked styling and imagination. This unit lacked running boards, which could have been used due to the stepin height. Because of this you could see the unibody/frame when approaching from the side. Almost everything was an option, including $30.00 for Deluxe floormats (Kind of reminds you of the old times). The dealer kept going out of his way to tell me that there were significant differences between the Aspen and Durango. I think he was trying to convince himself as well as me. After looking at this, I find it hard to believe that this will sell any better than the old Aspen. I hope Chrysler doesn't have high expectations for this SUV. Guess I should have kept driving when I saw this gem.
