Replying to: vince_lmt (Sep 11, 2008 4:07 pm) I have the 4.0L engine in my Town & Country Limited. It's the noisiest and most coarse sounding engine I have ever heard in a van. Maybe my old Ford Windstar was comparable. It also vibrates annoyingly at each stop. Especially at starting the van. It's unacceptable!! Suggestion to Chrysler: You need a new QUIET refined engine, with better NVH, better mileage, better power, so it should be comparable to the rest of the minivan players - Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, etc. And you need it NOW! And you should offer it across the board, for ALL models, not only Limited - the same all other minivans offer!!!! |

Replying to: hansienna (Sep 28, 2008 8:04 pm) For 2009, Honda has added the power tailgate to Odyssey EX-L models, which, once again, if optioned correctly, can also be had for under $30K. The Sienna and Odyssey aren't static targets; they're moving windows. Both are up for redesign soon... The GC may be able to compete with the current Sienna and Odyssey, but whether or not the GC can compete with the next generation of both vans is another story... I would be hesitant to get into a Grand Caravan right now with Chrysler on the ropes... Then again, since they are on the ropes, the deals are very attractive... |

| If you're considering a Honda Odyssey I want you to know this, My wifes Honda Odyssey has been through two transmission rebuilds, replaced the rotors twice, the dash rattles like marbles are in it, the sliding door fell off its track onto my sons foot, the seat heaters have been replaced and the DVD player skips over bumps. I'm not the only Honda owner with these problems. The Honda dealership is full of owners sitting in the "waiting" room with me. None of us will buy another Honda badged product ever again. Just food for thought if you're considering a Honda. BEWARE OF THE HONDA TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS!!! | |

dvsutton: Is the Odyssey a 1999-2004 model? You seem to dislike Toyota and Honda, so I'm assuming your next vehicles will be GM, Ford, or Chrysler. If so, good luck and hope in 10 years you can still buy parts. Back in late 2001, my 'good ole American cash' went to Toyota for a 2002 Tundra. Oh, and it was built in Indiana and I've never any issues with it, other than an occasional oxygen sensor. yak33

Replying to: anythngbutgm (Nov 12, 2008 9:16 am) All I will say is I've been a ford and gm guy for a long, long time, as was my father. However, life doesn't exist in a vacuum and the changes, both good and bad, in the auto industry over the past many years has been significant. If you can't recognize, acknowledge, and accept them, and are blinded by bias, I can offer nothing to mr. sutton. yak33 |
