Dodge Grand Caravan
Fiat-Chrysler’s CEO keeps feeding the rumour mill with the fate of its minivans, but for now the best-selling van range in Canada returns with changes to colours and option groups. Only one drivetrain powers all Grand Caravans and Town & Countrys: the ubiquitous Pentastar 3.6L V6 (making 283 horsepower here), paired to a six-speed automatic and front-wheel drive. Stow n’ Go in the second row is still class-exclusive and remains highly practical. Nothing provides more room for the family at this budget level!

The 2012 Dodge Caravan Crew: Commodious, Comfortable... Convincing?

When you’re the paltry age of 26, unmarried, and without even so much as the threat of children on the horizon, there’s a certain tactic that’s oftentimes employed after you’ve finished parking a minivan at the local supermarket.
