The 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan is the latest example of a fundamentally sound idea that continues to resonate with families on the go, more than 25 years after its introduction. Not a full-size van, but certainly not a station wagon, the Grand Caravan minivan offers enough seats for eight passengers, a carlike ride, smooth acceleration, and reasonable fuel economy. In Dodge's opinion, it's a "family room on wheels." Redesigned completely in 2008, the Grand Caravan only gets minor drivetrain tweaks this year as Chrysler sorts out its new alliance with Italy's Fiat.
