The only surviving Dodge-passenger cars shall be the Charger and the Challenger. All others shall be stopped.

The developing of own cars will be slowed down, soon they will sell Fiats under the names of Dodge and Chrysler as "new" cars of the brand. And Alfa Romeo shall be back in USA.

Nice for Alfa
And it will be funny to see rebadged Fiat As we already see many European or Asian rebadged cars (as Chevrolet especially), that will make few more...

Dodge Grande Punto?

Chrysler Croma?

Here's a quick rundown. Everything getting axed was awful, but the Caravan was still making money, wasn't it?

Grand Caravan sales will be absored into the remaining Town & Country I guess... and they're pretty good vehicles actually. Minivans have always been a bright spot in Chrysler's lineup.

It's kind of funny how I've only personally driven what has to be the rarest version of these vans...a 2009 Volkswagon Routan. I found it to be quite a smooth ride. I really enjoyed it and visibility was great all around. Although I have to admit that the electronic key confused me at first Nevertheless, I was impressed by how comfortable it was.

It's hard to find a modern minivan that isn't comfortable really. They all have a lot of weight and long wheelbases which contribute to ride comfort, and the suspensions are tuned soft for even more smoothness.

What is "electronic key"? Do you mean that you push a button to start the engine? Or something else?

The Dodge Ram is now an own "Dodge Ram Brand".
It´s weird, the only Chrysler/Dodge cars that remain are the huge LX-cars. They urgently need one or two models of small cars. As much as I never regreted that I purchased the "small" Neon, I never was convinced with the Caliber. The Caliber was an opportunity they didn´t really use (maybe thanx to those Krauts from Mercedes).
A couple of years ago there was the Dodge Hornet concept car. Why not take a FIAT platform, build the Hornet-Design on it, give it one of those all-new FIAT 1.4-Turbo engines and you have something that´s fun to drive yet fuel efficient.

Well I'm not really used to driving minivans, so that's probably why I was so particularly impressed.

As for the electornic key, I don't have an specific inormation about it as I had never used one before. Basically it was a key that popped out of a little box. Terrible explanation, I know...Forgive me.
