Re: '08 Grand Caravan

I like the dash well enough on the '08 Chrysler vans. I also never thought that the Stow-and-Go seats were very uncomfortable, either...I think that Chrysler went to enought lengths that an adult won't ride knees-up without support.
I was disappointed in how drab they made the interiors look in the '05 refresh, and that's my only real complaint with the '08s. The TC at least has some wood trim but it's a little light for my liking.
The '08 redesign is awfully late, anyway. Instead of introducing Stow-and-Go for 2005, they really should have introduced the '08 vans for the 2006 model year. The Chrysler vans were redesigned in 1991, 1996, and 2001. The originals went from 1984-1990, but that's back before the advent of the SUV and there were bigger changes (long wheelbase model, new engines, etc).

As for the Entourage...the Chrysler vans are more comfortable. I actually agree with Car and Driver's minivan comparison test from a few months ago where the Entourage placed last.

A used Town and Country Limited would make a great replacement for the '02 Grand Caravan.
