First, let me admit that I am a Honda girl. I LOVE my 6 year old Honda Odyssey and will not part with it until it can go no more. But the 2008 Chrysler Town & Country minivan is quite tempting.
Take a second look at that picture. Do you see what I see? I can hardly believe it. The middle row can swivel and face the back, and there is a little table back there. It’s like a big game room on wheels. And you mean to tell me that I would be stuck in the drivers seat while the kids had all the fun? Us parents spoil them way too much!
I am really not much of a car person but this one – well I am speechless. I had to check out the specs. Some other high end options include Sirius Satellite TV (as if DVD’s or videos were not enough!), a power folding third row (that one I could get used to) and, like, a regular plug (you know, so your kids can plug their Playstation in.) Too much, I tell you.
If you don’t believe me, hop over to Autos.com or CarsDirect
and check it out for yourself!

Great review – I love the new features as well, although I wish the exterior weren’t quite so “boxy” … BUT, my big question is: can we drive with the seats turned around backward or is that just a feature for tailgating or waiting for sports pickups? I really really hope you can – but I haven’t been able to tell from the advertising.
Lauri,
You bring up a good question. I just assumed that you could drive with the seats rear facing. I will try and find that answer for you.
Yes! You can drive with the seats facing either forward or rearward. Cool, huh?
Well, the voice of authority has spoken. Ann is from Chrysler.com. Thank you, Ann for settling this matter. And yes – it is cool!
I’ve sworn to never be a minivan mom… but this sucker is calling my name, I tell ya! It is just too too cool! I may break my word…
Wow that is HUGE on the inside.
