If they can keep the looks similar to what was shown at the auto show. If they can make it drive similar to a X5 or tall 5-series. If they can keep build quality and reliability high. And most importantly, If they can keep the price in the $25k+ range that has been rumored I think that this will be a very appealing vehicle for alot of people.
 
I'll agree that there are more and more manufacturers coming to market in this segment but, the segment has been stagnant for so long that each new entry helps. I disagree completely that the market is saturated. There is a nice selection but as the car show demonstrated there is a whole gambit of options that have yet to be explored. I say bring them on, I'm ready to trade.

This is a beautiful vehicle and will be a positive addition to a growing segment. I have had two Dodge Stratus rentals and enjoyed my time in that solid, quiet little car.
 
The Chicago Tribune reported Chrysler was thinking of annual run of only 5k vehicles starting in '04. That does not seem right. Anyone hear differently?
 
The Pacifica and the Crossfire will probably be the last of the pre-merger Chrysler concepts to be built. I wonder what will happen next year with so many of the late '90s Chrysler designers having run off to work with Lutz at GM.
 
Finally, will the Pacifica make the Benz M series redundant?

It looks like a slightly larger Jetta or Passat wagon.

I doubt that the Pacifica will make the M a redundant vehicle. There are substantial differences between the two vehicles and I think they both go after a different market sector.
The M-class has seating for 7, is more than capable off-road, aesthetically is more like an SUV and price wise starts at $36,000.
The Pacifica has seating for 6, is geared for safe driving in all weather conditions, aesthetically is a cross between a sleek SUV, sport sedan and minivan and is supposedly supposed to be priced around $25,000.
If anything I wonder if the Pacifica won't be seen as direct competition to it's proposed cousin, the Mercedes Benz GST. Although they are built off of different platforms and will be geared to different clientele you can't help but see the similarities in both design and concept.

I had a Chrysler 300M with performance handling package and was VERY happy with it. The engine is great. The tranny could be a bit more efficient though, but I think Chrysler is switching to Mercedes trannies anyway.
 
I like this Pacifica.

I am glad to see that Chrysler is going to build this car. I love the overall look of the vehicle. am trying to find some dimensional specs. on the vehicle. From looking at pics on the web, it does not seem to be as tall as say a Lexus RX 300 but I am more interested in the length. The fact that it has 3 rows of seating makes me wonder if it is as long as my Intrepid which I hope is not the case. Anyone have any ideas.

You may also want to check the Chrysler website. I've noticed that the preliminary specs there are slightly different. Of course keep in mind we're just looking at the concept vehicle, so anything can change.
