re: Is the Chrysler Pacifica the best minivan choice currently?

I will echo a lot of the Kia supporters on here. It's hard to imagine paying new minivan price for the Sedona, but given that Hyundai is the parent company and I do have experience with their new stuff, it's GOT to be worth consideration. What I have found odd is the apparent lack of an entertainment system with many of the ones I've seen in even the highest trim levels. We had a base model one for a couple days as a rental and my wife joked about how superior its ride was to our '13 T&C.

The Pacifica looks good. I think you're just going to have to wait for the long-term data to determine if it's lipstick on a pig or an actual step in the proper direction.
