The Dodge Grand Caravan is a great alternative to the Town & Country; essentially, it's the same vehicle at a slightly lower price.
Honda's excellent Odyssey is more enjoyable dynamically for the driver (not to mention its achievement as perhaps the only minivan with sex appeal), while the Toyota Sienna provides a plusher ride than the Chrysler.
However, neither of these options can match the Chrysler's list of features or its sticker (which heads toward the Kia or Hyundai).
Volkswagen—the company that invented the minivan with its 1950 Transporter Microbus—is once again using the Chrysler minivan as the foundation for its 2010 Routan.
Like the Dodge Grand Caravan, the Routan uses the same platform and engines as the Chrysler model and is even built alongside the Town & Country at Chrysler's plant.
