Too bad Kia doesn't want to offer value conscious Canadians a choice in the low content entry level minivan market.
I am sure if Kia could get a model down to $20,999 with captains middle row seats and it would offer a choice and competition to Dodge. SO I agree with writer that we will see very few new Kia minivans on the streets and lots of new Dodge end of model line 2015s.
Dodge Grand Caravan is going away next year and the next Town & Country is said to start at $27k in the US, so not much point in Kia playing in that (likely nearly unprofitable) market.
Are you speaking about US market? Dodge GC is likely to stay in Canada. So yes, Kia would have a point in "that" market. Instead it choose to wrestle with the expensive ones Honda/Toyota. Good luck with that.
people tend to forget that the base MSRP for a Dodge GC starts at $27,995, its just that Dodge is constantly giving such massive discounts in order to move them, maybe with the new model they will no longer do this or not as deep.
Grand Caravan - $27,995 - $42,195
