Did you completely overlook the part where I said I get to play with these cars a good bit thanks to my father-in-law's involvement with our local dealer? Again, not impressed. The Pacifica is definitely a move in the right direction, but it's still not the best minivan on the market. It does look good and the features are nice. But it's likely to suffer the same issues with reliability and resale value as its predecessor. And because of stow-n-go, seats in the second row are not nearly as plush and comfortable as in the competition. That's the one feature where Chrysler has been ahead of the curve, but it has always come at a cost.
I didn't overlook it. It doesn't help your argument. You, in your own opinion were not impressed...which is fine, bc that's your opinion. Though your in-laws drive nothing but Chrysler and per your comments have had good luck with them. So who are we to believe?
Consensus across the automotive industry right now is that if you need a minivan tomorrow, the Chrysler is the best overall. Saying "it's likely to suffer the same issues with reliability and resale value as its predecessor" is an assumption and you have no proof to back it up because the 2016 is 100% new.

I need to see this. Got a link? Not saying it's not accurate, I just don't know. Based on history, I find it hard to believe unless price is a qualifying factor.

While that's fair, it's a domestic brand, so resale is definitely going to suffer, no matter how good it is. Trucks and Jeeps are the only ones where this is true to a much lesser extent. Reliability....well, you should be able to understand why people think the way they do. Until they prove otherwise......
And the Chrysler/Fiat relationship has yet to yield anything groundbreaking for either brand according to most industry publications I've seen.

He grew up in a Dodge family. His dad was a long-time sales rep for the Athens dealer. He would have swore by them if every tranny he ever had dropped out of them. Other relatives in his family have had issues. They have, amazingly, swung pretty good luck with theirs. I'll give you that.
