It looks like a SUV and minivan had a get together at a motel and this is what came out. I think its ugly.

I think domestic vans all have the same look these days. That ugly high boxy nose that is basically stitched to bodystyles that date back to the mid 90's. If you chop off the nose of the Chevy Uplander, it's basically the Chevy Venture, whom it replaced. Same with the Ford Freestar and Windstar vans. It's to the point where the door panals may even be interchangable in terms of shape and fitment.
At least the Toyota, Honda and Nissan vans are more distinguishable. Those vans actually attempt to put a bit of style into minivans. And when they redesign their vans, they actually redesign them and not stitch together a bunch of outdated designs together. I think the domestics are staying conservative, and falling behind. Although of course it's not all about style.
Remember when Dodge dominated the minivan market? Heck, they dominated the whole market before SUV's were hot. It seems like a LOOOONG time ago. And I don't think this will take them back to that period. Although I will hold back a little until I see the interior.
