Description

The minivan is alive and well, and still a star in the Chrysler lineup. And for 2008, the Chrysler Town and Country is the best vehicle in this class to appear since Chrysler created the modern minivan in 1984.But minivans such as this one have their place in modern American life, and they're still being embraced heartily by those who need versatile family haulers. Besides Generation X couples with kids, minivans are popular with empty-nest baby boomers. They appreciate the roominess of the vans, which allows them to take friends and grandkids along, or to use the cargo-carrying capacity for weekend antiquing or visits to Home Depot or home-d?cor stores. Boomers also find these vans quite comfortable for road trips. They're more fuel-efficient than most SUVs, and more economical and easier to drive than even the smallest motor homes. The Town and Country entered its fifth generation last fall, once again raising the bar in the market segment created by Chrysler with the introduction of the Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager 24 years ago.
