2011 Chrysler Town & Country

The 2011 Chrysler Town & Country is extensively updated with revised styling, a revamped cockpit, and the most powerful V-6 in the minivan class. The changes aim to keep the 2011 Town & Country competitive with the fully redesigned 2011 Honda Odyssey and 2011 Toyota Sienna. The 2011 Town & Country remains the upscale version of the 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan, which is similarly updated. They share powertrains and seven-seat interior layouts -- and both lose the option of Chrysler’s Swivel ’n Go table-and-chairs arrangement. Town & Country is more expensive than comparable versions the Grand Caravan, making the Chrysler the smarter choice mostly if you’re brand-conscious. Both are family rooms on wheels, just in different neighborhoods.
