Exterior - What the Auto Press Says
The 2008 Chrysler Town & Country's appearance is functional at best, and doesn't rank well compared to its class. But it scores points for not pretending to be anything other than a minivan. Forbes describes "a no-nonsense style that affirms what minivans are about -- space and more space -- and it's preferable to minivans disguised with visual gimmicks."
BusinessWeek thinks the current Town & Country looks better than earlier models, but not enough to make it interesting to look at: "Although Chrysler has improved the Town & Country's exterior styling, it still looks like a minivan-which is to say, big and dumpy." Cars.com writes "the styling will go over well with minivan traditionalists; they want utility, and Chrysler doesn't try to imagine otherwise. (Note the Honda Odyssey, which embraces similarly unhip styling to the tune of relative sales success.)" On the plus side, AutoWeek says they "like the new, squarer shape-especially in black." And the Detroit News reports the "upgraded headlights give it a bejeweled feel."
