Geer Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) Yeah, but that might mean they are great in ice and snow. The Journey is the best selling Crossover in Canada. I suspect it's mostly due to the amount of vehicle you get for the price, because by and large Canadians are frugal with their money. Having the build plant in Mexico is likely Chrysler's smartest move in a long time because you can be sure the labor costs and operating costs are alot less than if it were in the US or Canada. This translates into a lower product cost. When I shopped around, the Journey R/T was by far the best bang for the buck - best in class engine, best interior, most standard features, and the technology puts the competition to shame. The sticker price on my R/T is under $34k. To get a comparable AWD V6 Equinox with way fewer standard bells and whistles was pushing $36k. And to boot with the Chrysler discount and money I talked the dealer out of, I only paid $29,270. Anyway...I digress...

SaskGuy Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I know that I was not expecting SO much car for the price that I had researched before I went for a test drive. I was expecting a much cheaper interior. I just don't see anything inferior about the 2011. I hope that I am not proven wrong.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...fingers crossed...that they have worked most of the bugs out of the 1st gen models. They put a huge amount of development into the pentastar 3.6, and the technical specs and build technology is very impressive. The old 3.5 scares me enough that I don't think I would have rolled the dice on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
