<DIV>I had to replace our Grand Caravan the summer before last. Like
yourself I had been buying American (other vehicle was a Jeep) but finally
bought Toyota- the Caravan was a great vehicle, but we were scared off by the
high rate of transmittion failure on the Chysler product (even
though we got 200K on ours before we got rid of it) and attracted by
the high resale value of the Toyota. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To be honest, I can't say that I am more happy with the Sienna- the Caravan
was awesome- and the Caravan has stow away seats in both rows- that's really
nice (Toyota is only back seat stow away). If you want to stay American,
you won't do better than the Grand Caravan.</DIV>

van</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Time to replace another set of wheels here. I've been doing the
Dodge mini-van thing for a long while now. It's the Devil that I know
anyway. Windstars - forget it - been there, still doing it, glad the
other half drives it. Any recommendations on a solid & reliable
van? Thinking about the Chevy Uplander, trying hard to stay American,
but it gets harder to justify every time I go out looking. I really want
something that holds together.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
