Am looking forward to it.

 

Interesting.

 

A new Chrysler can't get here soon enough.

 

Like an Aspen.

 

I hope that name returns. It was a good name for an SUV.

 

It needs to be a chrysler!
QUESTION: should there be a option of no 3rd row so it can have a more user friendly cargo area?

 

Make it sto-n-go so you can get the best of both worlds.

 

Any interior shots?

 

Car & Driver rendition

 

Chinese Patent

 

I know I have said this before so don't flame me too much.
I just wish the stylists would just get away from the current trend of 'me too' looking SUVs and CUVs. Everything pretty much looks the same (much like the mid size cars these days).
Yes I know there are various regulations and mileage standards that hold things back. But I have to believe that a little imagination could make a vehicle look unique and completely stand out from the others. Chrysler has been historically very good at that. It's just harder and harder these days to meet a vehicle on the road without saying "Now what was that ?" because they all look alike (except of course Charger, Challenger, 300, and Wrangler).

 

Nope. Just getting ready to launch the Chinese PHEV versions of Commander and Grand Commander.

 

Here is some more information...

I hope they don't put the Pacifica front end on this CUV. I didn't like that design language on the 200 either.

I hope it takes these styling cues...

I love this rendering.

Thats a picture under license my friend, better watch it

 

IIRC that's the 300 styling cues which were replaced by the 200 styling cues, but I recall somewhere that the 200/Pacifica cues are done and there will be a new design language for Chrysler.

 

Journey = Associated with huge discounts.Not the image they want with either the Dodge "Stelvio" or Chrysler "Grand Commander".
Aspen = A failure as a Chrysler SUV (more bad timing than bad product) with constant reminders about how bad the previous Aspen was (even though that car was decades before the Chrysler Aspen).
Voyager = Too much minivan stigma to overcome. If they had to slap a CUV name on a minivan, they certainly won't slap a minivan name on a CUV.
My prediction (if both vehicles do indeed come to pass) is that they will find names for the Dodge and Chrysler with less baggage than any of these.

 

Journey is a great name but not in step with the current brands. It's unlikely to go on a new, more sport/muscle oriented CUV Dodge. I could see the name switch over to Chrysler, but it doesn't quite have the panache for the brand. It's a shame to let a(nother) dependable nameplate go in the trash.

Chrysler revived the "failed" Pacifica name, so I don't see why Aspen couldn't make a return. If anything, I would guess the previous Aspen didn't make enough impact in the market to cause an immediate reaction good or bad. The vast majority of people don't know Aspen was a Dodge name for a split second.

Voyager may still have a tinge of Plymouth minivan history attached to it. Older Baby Boomers may remember getting one when their kids were small. That name may need to lay idle for another 10 years, especially if it would go on a more premium vehicle.

I'd like to see Aspen, Atlantic, Nassau, Newport and Imperial return as vehicle names for Chrysler.

The I don't know of any negative stigma of the Voyager name. I can see auto magazines and blogs jumping onto the Voyager like did with the Cherokee. Boomers I know remember them fondly of the cars they carted their kids around in. My Millennial friends don't remember the name. Most remember those cars as a Dodge Caravan for some reason (Even if it was a Voyager they were driven around in. Memory is a crazy thing isn't it?) Journey and Voyage both evoke thoughts of taking a trip. You could resurrect Concorde just as easily IMO. I don't know of any stigma with that name either. I hope they don't mess up and call the car Sea Breeze or something that accidentally evokes bad memory.

 

What about...

Cordoba?

 

In a perfect world, the ultimate luxury vehicle would swaddle its occupants in rich, corinthian leather.

Concorde is a good name too, I forgot that one.

For Voyager, while I was growing up, Plymouth meant Superbirds or middle ground, really good at nothing badge engineered minivans and cars. The Voyager is what you got if you didn't want a Caravan like everyone else but were too poor to get a Town & Country. I just think that memory would be tough to get around by Baby Boomers and Gen Xers. Maybe not.

 

My theory is that FCA didn't really retire the name "Town & Country", but just wanted to give it a little break before THIS vehicle debuts as "The All New Chrysler Town & Country".

If I were in Vegas right now, I might even put down a few shekels on this one.

 

I'd just like any new Chrysler to appear. We can then debate whether it should've been called whatever they decide to call it. We have a Pacifica an Atlantic, or better yet how about Atlantis? Seems like a fitting name for a mythical new Chrysler.

 

Make it a competitive vehicle with value for the money and it’ll take care of itself. The name at this point doesn’t matter much. People will perceive that name as good or bad based on their perception of the vehicle itself...not with what the name may or may not have been attached to previously. Make a winner, and it’ll be perceived as such.

 

Or a name from a past concept wagon that had 3-row seating? The Plainsman.

Jeep is doing geat with a bunch of models, Jeep is for tough vehicals that can go off road. Jeep does not NEED this, Chrysler does!
The G Commander looks like it custom made to be Chryslers 1st Mid size CUV.
If the is not done it sends a big message that chrysler is not long for this world!!!

 

Just like the $100k Trackhawk. In my opinion, people will pay more for a Jeep then a similar product with the Chrysler nameplate.

 

With those big boxes the last thing they need is squishy rear side windows. It justs makes parking and roadway entry more difficult. Fellow SUV drivers don't care about you. Maybe thats just Jersey.

 

Many people say it has to have dramatic styling. I don't , put form b4 style. Look at the new Forrester,,,windows you can actully see out of, what a novel idea.

 

Subaru makes practically designed vehicles with a function, what a novel idea indeed...no wonder why they sell so well in the US.

 

lol OK hear me out, what if they Next two Chrysler Crossovers are called "Town" and "Country" and advertised together as "Town & Country"?? one would be a lower riding urban Crossover for 7 passengers, and other will be a slightly higher riding 5 passenger version with extra cargo.? cause you know T&C were mostly attached to some sort of MPV style car (as a model by itself, not Trim)

 

Excellent sightlines and visibility was a big selling point to us when we bought our now departed Forester. Chrysler could do very well in creating an airy feeling greenhouse on top of a bold but not wild body. It may sound weird, but I'd look at sedans of the 1930's and 40's for inspiration. I don't mean go retro, but the long body lines with flowing fenders make for such a classy look.

I have to be careful or I'll get sucked into classic car porn.
