Perhaps two types of the same minivan is one type too many. Or maybe Chrysler has sold itself into rental minivan purgatory, the result of which is a permanently diluted vehicle in the eyes of minivan shoppers. Whatever the reason, it may not matter how good these minivans are, nor how innovative or useful their interiors. Until car buyers lose the perception of Dodge as the rental van, it will be hard to sway the tide of sales toward import minivan makers. With a declining market dominated by two fierce competitors, Dodge has work to do. Thanks to one of the most innovative interiors we’ve ever seen, it now has the minivan to climb back to the top of the minivan charts.
