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.

As consumers flock toward more models with better fuel economy, small SUVs are becoming more popular. So far, 21.4 percent more small SUVs have been sold in 2011 compared to this time in 2010. That means that car companies don’t have to offer a lot of incentives on their small SUVs and crossovers, but in June VW is offering zero-percent financing for up to 60 months on a new Tiguan. That beats the 1.9 percent financing Honda is offering on the CR-V, and the Tiguan is more fun to drive.

The Sonata has been completely redesigned for the 2011 model year. It’s available as a bargain-hunter’s GLS model (the only one offered with a stick shift), or a better-equipped Limited edition.

In June, Hyundai is offering the Sonata with 1.9 percent financing for up to 36 months.
