The New 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan for Vacation

The new 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan is a minivan with the driving dynamics of a performance sedan – and a little bit of attitude. Dodge believes that just because a driver needs the versatility of a minivan doesn't mean that the experience has to be boring. So engineers redesigned and retuned virtually every system in the new Grand Caravan's suspension. That major suspension overhaul, combined with a new V-6 engine that delivers best-in-class horsepower, gives Grand Caravan drivers a dynamic driving experience that other minivans in the segment just don't deliver. Get behind the wheel, and enjoy a driving experience once never thought possible in such a functional vehicle.About this Vehicle

Review
The family-friendly Dodge Grand Caravan has always been an American car staple. As a steady and reliable minivan, the 2011 model has been redesigned to be more fuel-efficient with a better-engineered power train and suspension. The interior is also expected to see major changes, with some minor retouchings on the exterior of the vehicle to make it look more sculpted and sharper, to lose some of the “minivan” stigma. Marketed as the ultimate “Man Van,” it is clear that the Dodge Grand Caravan is attempting to change people’s minds about what a minivan means.
