It's only when one or more tires loses traction that the VC or T/C comes in to play. Basically that means it should be less likely to slip in the first place. You're sending less power to each wheel, so it's less likely to overcome the amount of available traction. Gravel and dirt roadbeds are more than most minivan owners will encounter. I bet most want AWD for snowy climates. The AWD Sienna is a bit more than an inch higher in terms of ground clearance vs. the FWD models, too. |

Just drove a new Buick Enclave....SWEET!!! It was sooo quiet inside! Plus it tows 4500 lbs, has AWD and almost as much space as my minivan!! I think it's time for a CUV!!

| Has anyone heard when the newly designed Chrysler minivans will be coming out? I know the official word is "Fall 2007", but that could be anywhere between September and December. | |

Replying to: aaron_t (Jul 26, 2007 9:41 am) Hope it doesn't bankrupt them. Great for minivan buyers, though. It should cover that transmission my neighbor keeps having to replace on his vans. One catch is it's not transferable, and that could hurt residuals because now people would prefer new vs. used. |
