Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

Reviewers seem to think the Aspen's looks pale in comparison to SUVs from Chevrolet and GMC. Though the Aspen looks like the Dodge Durango, most agree that's not always a good thing.

• "The latest editions of the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator sport enough brightwork on their front ends to make a 1950s car blush but, by comparison, the 2009 Chrysler Aspen's face comes off as conservative - which isn't necessarily a bad thing." -- Kelley Blue Book
• "The Aspen was crafted from the proverbial rib of the Dodge Durango. Aspen clearly aspires for bigger garages, however, dressed as it is with a glitzy egg-crate grille, chrome-capped bumper and pinstriped hood." -- Car and Driver
• "Those familiar with the Durango will notice similarities, but there are enough differences to keep the Aspen from looking like a me-too knockoff. The crosscut grille is standard Chrysler fare, and the hood strakes mimic those on the Crossfire roadster and Sebring sedan." -- Cars.com
