Releasing incentives on a brand-new model could be considered an admission of market failure. No automaker wants to do it, but sometimes it makes sense to help spur sales. A quick glance at Dodge's incentives page reveals the ugly truth: It's kicked off the 2009 incentive season with $1,000 cash back on the Journey, its first three-row crossover.
This is usually the time when we'd mock an automaker for producing a dud, thus forcing itself to roll out incentives on a 2009 model in March 2008, but perhaps some of the blame belongs to the down economy. We’ve seen cash back on brand-new models before, but it never makes the automaker look good.

I have read that the Journey is actually a pretty nice vehicle. I actually kind of like it the more I see it on TV. Its got a nice agressive look to it, and a good stance. If I was going to buy a family vehicle it would definitely be something I would consider especially over the fugly new Caravan and Town and Country.

I agree with Shibby. In fact, I'm thinking that a 2010 Journey will be the replacement for our 2007 Jeep Liberty - especially if it's available with one of the new little Cummins diesels.

I agree. It's not for me, but I think it's an excellent vehicle.

I finally saw a Journey on the road the other day, and I must say, I was rather surprised by how much I liked the look of it...although, I don't think I would ever buy one

I love the $1,000 incentive b/c I ordered one on April 2nd. That is the reason for me finding this forum...I was surfing the web for Journey info and reviews. We test drove one and fell in love. My wife thought she wanted the Acadia, but realized during the test drive that it is just feels too big (she currently has an 02 Camry). Also, the tranny in the Acadia searched for a gear constantly from 40-50 mph, which was super annoying.

The Journey fit our needs perfectly...can't wait for it to come in!!

We are seriously considering the Journey as a replacement for our 06 T&C, we are planning on going up next weekend to see what our options are. The only thing is, $1000 off is not much at all. When we leased the van, we got a total of $6500 off of it.

You will be able to get a van cheaper on a lease. My wife sells them.

HAHA

I do think it's an excellent replacement for the Nitro and Durango (which both need cut). But I'm not happy at all to see that an I4 gets 15mpg. It should get at least 22mpg city and 29mpg highway...escpecially if they want to badge it a 2009.

And again, who is their interior design team? Dodge needs to fire them all and stop it with the square dopey plastic interiors. Acura and every other auto maker are scoring big points because they have great designs while Dodge continues conservative box looks.
