What’s a “sports tourer?”

We’re not sure, but we know it will cost between $31,230 and $32,980, including freight and a badge that reads Chrysler Pacifica. We also know it will be available in early spring.

Chrysler said its Pacifica, which boasts three rows of seating and a 250-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 powerplant, is a “sports tourer” by definition rather than a sport/utility or station wagon. The vehicle is on a new platform which pulls its rear suspension from Mercedes-Benz E-class and styling cues from anything between minivans and Dodge’s forthcoming Magnum wagon. AutoWeek’s sister publication, Automotive News, classifies the vehicle as a “upscale near-luxury car,” competing with similar cars such as the Volvo Cross Country and Infiniti FX45. The newsweekly has a separate designation for sport/utilities.

No matter the vehicle's official designation, the Pacifica comes with a pair of drivetrain options, front-wheel priced at $31k and all-wheel priced at $33k. Other features include three rows of curtain airbags, 17-inch wheels and optional toys such as a DVD player, satellite radio, power lift-gate and heated seats in the second row.

Chrysler will soon announce pricing on the Crossfire coupe, which goes on sale later this year and compliments Chrysler's updated vehicle line, according to company officials.

 

that is kinda hefty for a Chrysler, isn't it?

 

I think it's fine. Their products are getting better and better.

 

i agree with you, but when you start paying 30k+ you expect a luxury car title. I think people might hesitate spending 30k+ on a Chrysler. You know what i tryin to say?

 

I hear ya but the 300M goes up to $30K well equipped. People bought it.

 

I like the Pacifica but not at 30K.

 

OK, where's the pics?

Yes they bought it, but not at that price! The 300M's were heavily discounted. I test drove one before i got my TL and the dealer was eager to give the car away...but i didn't like the ride and quality.

 

so whats this thing look like again?

 

30k and Chrysler is like David Duke dating Jesse Jackson's daughter, that sh!t don't match nor make sense.

Sorry.

 

 

 

is that a steering wheel or a walking football or a walking ford symbol?

 

i like the built in navigation...real slick!

 

Yeah, the location for that navi is awesome. Come on, everyone knew that Chryslers would become more expensive since they became the American arm of Diamler-Benz (they may call it a merger of equals, but I see three German's running the show at Chrysler, that is not a merger...that is a takeover) not that I dislike the takeover, I just wish that they would have called it what it was.
