Dodge is trying to jump in to the crossover market with the new Dodge Journey it shares the Dodge Avenger platform. rear door open 90 degrees and setting for 5+2 2.7 v6 with 235hp The bad: 16mpg city 23mpg hwy Why would dodge try to bring out a crossover with such terrible gas mileagehttp://www.thecarconnection.co....html

With today's gas prices, why would a company even think to come out with something like this with such bad gas milage?There should be a minimum of 30mpg. If you can't do that, take some pointers from Toyota or Honda, they seem to be doing something right....

Does it play non-stop "Wheel In The Sky" when driving down the road? Alot of you are probably too young to get that. I'll just "Go my seperate way".Okay, I'll stop. Please don't banish me.

uh, didn't they jump into the crossover market with the Caliber? Or do they consider that an RC car?

My $.02 is that maybe Dodge is affraid people are going to stop buying Caravans, since the GM and Ford dropped their minivans for crossovers (Ford: Edge/Flex) (GM: Outlook/Acadia/Enclave)

I'm kinda getting tired of the cross hairs. It looks good on a lot of their cars, it even somewhat fits the Caliber, but the new Caravan and this thing, the crosshairs are fugly!

Agreed, it's funny cause my fiance's 3.7L V6 Liberty Renegade gets 17-18mpg city and 23 highway, and it looks better and is probably faster. Oh and would destroy it off road.

This is the first new vehicle coming out that's made my wife say "oh, I like that" at first glance. So, I'm guessing when we go car shopping, in about 3 years (when our Vibe is paid off), this might be on our list of vehicles to replace her 2000 Neon.

Aaah. My bad.Don't think I've actually seen a Pacifica. If I did, I guess I didn't take much notice.

The Journey reminds me a bit of the CX-7. Only the CX-7 would drive circles around the Journey.
