Yea they said something like this would come out a little while ago. For $45,000 though thats kinda spendy for a domestic but then again chyrsler is more of the expensive side of domestics.

I like it loved it when i saw it at the NY autoshow and think it looks a whole lot better than the ugly durango. Should sell decently.

I didn't see it coming either - I was flipping through an issue of Motor Trend and it was in a two page ad. Hmmm... looks like a Durango only better. Too bad it's a Chrysler still...

Saw it on a toll road down here in Mexico City not too long ago, had a demonstrator plate. My cousins picked it off and had never seen something so large and plain looking. Until they saw the different name, one of my cousins thought it might be a new Grand Durango (ala Grand Caravan).

A bit bland, but fairly nice.

You'd think they would name it something other than the Aspen. Reminds me of the late 70's pea green four door sedan with massive camber issues my neighbor used to have... and it was only 5 years old!
Go Chrysler.... and take Dodge with you.
