Thats for the fully loaded model, I believe Toyota and Honda also has models that can reach even higher than that.

This interior quality issue always bugs me. I've been in a Toyota minivan before and it's nothing but plastic, the same with Civic's, Corollas, ext. Is Japan's plastic better then American? It all seem the same to me. Heck my Friends new G35 is cover in plastic inside and it's never mention in reviews. It always seems Jap cars can get away with having cheap plastic in interiors and American cars can't, theres a double standard.

This is the one and only time I have ever agreed with 2coff! He is right, everyone complains about how "K-Mart" Chrysler's plastic is, but the Japs use the same plastic, so what's the deal?

I've wondered about this myself many times, Chrysler's "plastics" are so terrible it seems. Yet every other car I ride in uses, hmm, what's that stuff called? Oh yeah, it's plastic...

hahaha SO true about interior plastics!
Also, I have a 5 speed Auto-Stick in my Nitro and you DON'T have to put it in 'N' to get the trasmission out of 'Auto-Stick' mode and into 'Drive.' So, either for some strange reason that system works differently in vans, or this guy is a huge retard. All you have to do is hold the gearshift at the '+' side of the gate, and in a little more than 1 second(!) the transmission changes to 'Drive' on it's own. No neutral involved.

I thought it was dumb of the guy to say "who would want this in a minivan?" for the auto stick. They are trying to make the vans more sporty and appealing to guys instead of the normal soccer mom, the auto sick is really a really cool feature.

I think a better question is who wouldn't want this? Additional control over what your vehicle is doing is never a problem...
