More capacity for interior and engine

Our spies did it again! Although these aren’t the sharpest pictures, they are the very first ones of the upcoming 2008 Voyager (and Caravan) from the folks at Chrysler (and Dodge). Chrysler will keep their traditional minivan styling, but the 2008 model will be all new – inside and out. The popular stow-and-go features will remain, but sources are telling us that a V8 engine is under serious consideration.

Not much else is known about the 2008 Voyager at this time, except that an official introduction is planned for a year from now – at the 2007 NAIAS in Detroit in January next year.
 
Oh my god. Is that ugly or what...

My parents owned the current one. The car is Ok-ish, just the manual gearbox needs to be better.
 
Looks like a Jeep 300C.

But a Hemi Minivan doesn't sound too bad...:) (If they do the V8, should they?)
 
Ok, thats just an oddly photoshopped 300C, how on earth did would they think the new van would look like that under all that camoflage.
 
I hope to god the real van looks nothing like the photoshop. That thing is completely grotesque; it looks as if a Durango and a 300C had sex, and this is the child after eating way too many happy meals. Good lord that is ugly.

V8 though? Maybe Chrysler can make a non-crappy minivan to drive, and take the fight straight to Honda and their Odyssey. If it does have the V8, it would have to be 4 or rear wheel drive to work properly. But Chrysler seems to understand that fact, not like other automakers (*cough* GM *cough*).

Nissan and Honda already beat them to it. The Quest and Odessey handle like saloons--and trust me I drove them as such--and I do have a bit of fun driving my Odessey shuttle van at work...I scare the living crap out of the other employees when I turn the VSA off and get sideways. :sly:
 
Hahahaha. Looks like they're milking the 300 for all its worth.

I already knew the Odyssey is a good drive; I was just saying Chrysler could also make a good van. I guess I should have phrased my previous post better.
 
Eww, that is a bad photoshop, dont put trust in that second picture.

They should just leave the black coverings on if thats how its going to look.

👍 Definately looks better with the coverings on - a bit like putting a paper bag over an ugly girls head.
 
I don't know...Ditch the 300 beak and it wouldn't look too bad, IMHO. Besides, if they make it available with the Hemi and AWD, looks wouldn't be such a big deal, now would they?

BTW, VW's North American market minivan will be based on the Chrysler, including drivetrains.
 
I guess in defense of Chrysler, this is a vehicle which builds off of the Chrysler 300 and offers more seating as well as more room to store stuff in the rear. Perhaps Chrysler's building this as a super 300. Much more capable and much more able.

In terms of looks, here's what we got: the front of the Chrysler 300 (unmistakable!), maybe the lines of the 300 along the sides, yet the mean stance at the rear with a Dodge Magnum end. Do I like it personally? I actually don't think it's bad. Out of 100%, I'd give the design... uh... 74%. I see this more as a super 300 than a brand new automobile. Perhaps the lovliest creation from the Chrysler arm of DaimlerChrysler was the Chrysler Pacifica, that "segment buster" which beautifully blended van and SUV without leaning to either side too much. It's 300 meets Magnum, only taller.

By the way, I'll bet you there's an SRT variant in the works and will probably be meaner than this thing here. I'm certainly not going to say it's beautiful, but it isn't completely ugly either. I've seen worse. However, if the market is interested in a vehicle like this, I'm sure it will be appreciative no matter what we think. Remember, it's the car when it hits the street, not the car we're looking at. In other words, if the car has a lot to offer for interested consumers, then no matter what we think about the car's looks, it all comes down to the form and function of the car rather than its looks.
