[2o6]

Zeta? IMO Looks like LAMBDA.

As much as I love the idea behind it, that concept looks terrible.

[the Teuton]

I actually...kinda like it.  I don't like the face, but I love the proportions.

+10 Too much Ridgeline in the rear.

[ifcar]

I'd expect any production model to look a lot more like a G8 with a bed instead of a trunk than this concept.

Won't just rebadging the Avalanche/Escalade EXT work?

How many of those do they need??

That's never stopped them before. What was the difference between the Caravan and the Voyager; the Tempo and the Topaz, Cavalier and Sunfire?

Voyager = Decontented Caravan.

Topaz = More Luxuriant, sheetmetal bent.

Sunfire = Supposadly more sporty, and lots of sheetmetal was bent.

Topaz = More Luxuriant, sheetmetal bent.

What sheetmetal bent?





Also, no, it wasn't more luxurious in any way. My family friend had a Topaz back in the day and it was no better than my uncle's old Tempo. Not at all.

The Voyager is a decontented Caravan how? Iffy had a 2.4 Caravan with no tint, no power windows/locks or anything... and it wasn't a Voyager. My friend's Voyager has window tint and it's literally identical to a 1997 Caravan a friend used to have.

C-piller.

They already have a luxurious EXT version and the cheaper Avalanche... they don't need another one.

They don't need a Denali XT either.

Yes they do.

[CJ]

Yes they do.

No they don't.

I loved my grandpa's old topaz....
that 3 speed auto sucked though

Those are actual trucks.  This is based on the same car platform as the G8.

That didn't work.

[Catman]

Wow, ugly.

[dazzleman]

Wow, ugly.

[TheIntrepid]

That didn't work.

Sure it did. The Caravan/Voyager existed simultaneously from 1984 up until 2000 when Plymouth died.

The Tempo/Topaz lasted from ~1986 to 1994?

Just because it existed doesn't mean it was the smartest strategy. It just meant they could appease lots of unnecessary dealers without spending any development money. Until Chrysler killed off Plymouth for being redundant, of course.

Plymouth sucked anyway. Iffy, was there any real difference between teh Caravan and Voyager?

[CJ]

By saying Plymouth sucked, you are, in essence, saying that Dodge and Chrysler sucked.

The grille.

Other than that?

There isn't a single Dodge or Chrysler car except for the LX and LH cars that I would ever own.

YOU OWN A CHRYSLER.

[CALL_911]

YOU OWN A CHRYSLER.

He owns an LH. He said he would (only because he already does...), but still. YOU=FAIL.

Woops.  Didn't see the LH.
