2013 Chrysler Town and Country S is the van in black

Chrysler previously brought us the "man van" with the Dodge Grand Caravan R/T, but now it's apparently rolling out its its "mean van," with this sinister 2013 Town and Country S. Joining similar packages available on the 200 and 300 sedans, this new Town and Country trim replaces most of the standard car's shiny bits with dark accents, giving the minivan a more unique appearance.

The S trim level brings with it things like a black chrome grille, black-accented wheels and blacked-out headlight inserts, and it will only be offered in limited exterior colors (black, red, white and silver); we're guessing it looks best in the more monotone, limousine-spec paint scheme as seen above. The interior has likewise been given a blacked-out treatment including a black headliner and combination leather and cloth seats. All Town and Country S models come standard with Chrysler's new Blu-Ray rear-seat entertainment system, and it also has an HDMI input and a pair of USB ports that can charge mobile devices. The S' performance modifications start and end with a firmer sport suspension setup.

Exactly. There's nothing sporty "looking" besides the el cheapo wheels.

I would never touch a black van/suv. Good luck cleaning that black slab

I agree. Darth-Vader vehicles can be a PITA to keep clean.

Only one of them will be. Chrysler is likely going to get a large luxury crossover, a la Infiniti JX35.

I think the Sienna SE Swagger wagon is better in execution

The Sienna is currently the only American-market minivan with an AWD option, though that version is somewhat pricey.

^^ That is correct. Dodge will soldier on and Chrysler will get something similar to the Pacifica

Major props to Toyota. Lack of AWD is a serious omission IMO

Damn that looks awesome. It adds coolness to the Chrysler group minivan

Hmm.....maybe they should also make an SRT version of this

Hey, you're a detailer so there should be no complaint from you.

It's like a chef complaining about cooking
