The Dodge Journey will almost certainly get a real world-class powertrain - by 2012. Unfortunately the new automated-manual transmissions with dual clutches won't be available until 2009, after the Journey starts up, and it'll go into minivans first or so we're told. Likewise the brand new, world class engines, the Phoenix engines, will start up around 2009. And then there are the reputed Chrysler diesels under way - you heard me! - but who knows when those will be made, if at all?
 
More 2009 Dodge Journey info and of course Espanol - el crossover Dodge Journey 2009.

The interior doesn't look as spacious as my '05 Ford Freestyle, expecially in the 3rd and behind the 3rd cargo space, although I do like the innovations just as the flip seat storage area. The Journey also has the above dash storage area like my Freestyle.

The Journey is now on the Dodge website, although not too much real detail like pricing or MPG ratings, etc. And no conversation here since October?
 
Journey's features seem to be pretty good; optional 7 seats, optional rear view camera, three engine choices, standard ESP, etc.. Any idea when it will hit the showrooms?

I'll tell you what happened. I guess interest levels are low. 16 messages? This forum's been up since I think January of last year. Maybe December '06!
 
I think people are turned off that it seems a bit too samll to compete with the likes of Highlander and Pilot.

i see another failure here. Underpowered and underefficient. I mean, how is it they have cut 15 hp from the Pacifica and get the same mileage? What could possibly be the appeal here that was not present in the Pacifica?
 
This may lose hp, but no doubt it's quicker han the Pacific- which has wieght issues. Probably the same size inside- despite being a foot shorter (I'm guestimating).

Of course not. If the roomers are true, this will probably be a foot shorter- so yes, the interior is smaller.

I doubt it will cut much weight from the Pacifica. As a matter of fact, given the mileage, I wouldn't be surprised if its heavier than the Pac. We'll see, but I'm not holding my breath, that's for sure.

No way! I'm no LLC exec, but I know from Magazines and the internet and autoshows that's it's smaller than the Pac. And how do we know about mileage already?

Chrysler gave their estimates. Its been posted here and discussed.
 
And I'm sure you know smaller doesn't mean squat. A 3-series is smaller than my Accord, yet weighs hundreds of pounds more.

I still refue to believe the Journey isheavier than the Pacifica- which at something like 4600-4800 lbs is one of the heaviest CUVs!
 
So from what I've heard the Chrysler version of Journey is cancelled.
