I would love to buy one!!!! As it is, I'm looking at importing a LHD US model. Had one for a rental car over in FL last year, loved it, beats everything i've driven over here hands down.

( just 50,000 kms)So I decided to take the hit and trade it in,I would have to put in over 20,000 dollars to upgrade to a pacifica to correct their problem....no way. thanks chrysler for your great customer service . I wanted a pacifica at the time but could not get it due to the lack of funds and insurance headaches. it all comes down to customer service,which they do not have , a very un happy customer.

I hope the Pacifica can corner better than the Caravan which has both the heavy duty and sport suspension (front and rear anti-sway bars) and the new 4.0 V-6 will get the same mileage but with more grunt. I wonder if the 4.0 with 6 speed could be dropped into a '93 Caravan? I'd really buy that then. If the Pacifica had the same interior volume to suck up 4×8 sheets of building material and

It basically looks like a reskin of the first generation with an Aspen inspired hood. I have been satisfied with the 3.5 V6 for its mileage and power as it is deceiving in its acceleration because you sit higher off the ground than a car. It's handles far better than any minivan I've ever driven and the only similarity I see is its mileage numbers.
