Consensus across the automotive industry right now is that if you need a minivan tomorrow, the Chrysler is the best overall.
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.

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.
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.

At work so can't spend a ton time grabbing links but just do a quick Google for best minivan 2017 or minivan reviews, etc etc. Like I said, consensus is that the Pacifica is best based on all aspects except for reliability, bc there is no historical data on that yet. There are a few long term tests if you Google that though. Think Edmunds has been making monthly updates on their long term 2017 Pacifica.
I don't disagree with you on reliability, I just think a lot of the Chrysler = crap is overblown. Yes, that's probably their own fault as a brand for putting out some garbage during the Daimler ownership years, but I think that's water under the bridge now. Only products left over from that era are the chassis that the Durango and Charger/Challenger/300 ride on. That said I agree the Odyssey and Sienna are probably better options right now if reliability is a major factor bc the pacifica is so new.
Groundbreaking is relative. The Pacifica has multiple first in class features, as did the 2013 Ram when they released it. They aren't at the forefront of automotive tech, but they've got some pretty clever options on offer across their brands and lineup.
