Replying to: marine2 (Oct 04, 2007 12:35 pm) I don't like auto climate control at all. I prefer to manually control the vents and settings, so I'm happy there. I do think an underfloor storage would be useful. Honda offers a small lazy Susan and Dodge offers two large bins. I guess what Toyota offers instead is a large center console, plus you can actually get two of them - a 2nd for the middle row. More than one way to skin a cat, I suppose.

More than one way to skin a cat, I suppose. I guess if you don't have anything big to stash, they would be fine. I have a small televesion, battery cables, blanket, tape, a few tools. tie straps, first aid kit and a couple of boxes of tissues in one of my bins. The other bin has the seat in it, as I usually keep it stowed for the dog to set on, or when I carry something heavy, I don't want to lift it up in the tail gate. But if you just want to use it as a people hauler, two consoles should do just fine. I just hate having anything laying out in my van. I had to do that with my truck, but no more.

| It's kind of boring on these boards lately, since Chrysler came out with their new 2008 minivan. They took away most of the reasons to complain and not buy a Chrysler minivan. All except the idea that an American company can't make a reliable vehicle. That's a shame too. Because the big three are putting out some pretty good vehicles now and buying American made and American owned, helps all Americans. Helps our balance of trade, helps strengthen our dollar and creates jobs through all our other industries. | |

Replying to: dennisctc (Oct 06, 2007 6:16 am) As I said before, buying American made and owned, helps all Americans, not just the people making the vehicles. It strengthens our dollar, that's been losing value like crazy. It creates jobs in all the other industries. It cuts our balance of trade, etc. To see that America no longer owns the majority of our own market is really disheartening. We have lost so many jobs to foreign countries, it's hard to try and maintain the middle class in this country anymore. |

Replying to: marine2 (Oct 06, 2007 5:37 am) Based on reading elsewhere, I think Daimler was responsible for destroying the formerly very attractive door panels and seats on Chrysler minivans in addition to killing Plymouth and watering down the CHRYSLER nameplate. My sister's 1986 Caravan SE had VERY Nice, Attractive door panels and VERY NICE seats. A base 2001-2007 SE became an "el-cheapo" that looks like it was made by Daewoo, Yugo, or Trabant.
