07 Chrysler Aspen

The Aspen, just what we all need when gas goes back up to 1.30 per L, BTW how much longer before the name Volare, Reliant and Horizon make a comback?

DCX is getting as bad as VW in Europe.  They've got the Durango, Liberty, Grand Cherokee, M-Class, G-Class, Commader... and now this.  Not only competing with others in the market, but with each other...

I'm not really sure why the Aspen was really needed in the lineup to begin with.

DC is following the GM style of management, quantity not quality. Doomed for failure.

Is it a Calibre knock-off?

I saw the picture and to me it looks much better than the Durango. But what size is it and where does it fit? I have not noticed any write ups on it yet so I'm in the dark. I like the looks just because it isn't a Jeep and I hope it's never Trail Rated. :drv2:

Chrysler Aspen is available with a second-row 40/20/40 split bench seat or second-row heated bucket seats, each providing 11-degree reclining seat backs.  Second-row bucket seats include a center console with dual cup holders, covered storage area and adjustable air outlets. Cargo capacity, offering 68.4 cu. ft. of cargo room with the third-row seats folded.
 

 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 – the 2007 Chrysler Aspen delivers unrivaled capability and performance with fuel-saving MDS technology,” said Mike Donoughe, Vice President – Body-on-frame Product Team.  “Impressive off-the-line acceleration combined with enough torque to tow 8,950 lbs. When towing, Chrysler Aspen’s “Tow/Haul” transmission provides crisp shifts and reduces gear searching by holding the lower gear longer.  The system will also select a lower gear under downhill conditions in order to utilize the engine’s braking capability.

Chrysler Aspen’s standard engine is the 235-horsepower 4.7-liter Magnum V-8 engine with 300 lb.-ft. of torque, providing smooth and responsive performance.  Both the 4.7-liter and 5.7-liter V-8 engines are mated to a five-speed automatic Chrysler-designed heavy-duty transmission (545RFE).


The two-wheel-drive 4.7 and four-wheel-drive Hemi get 14 city, 19 highway.
The four-wheel-drive 4.7 gets 14 city, 18 highway.
The two-wheel-drive Hemi gets 15 city, 20 highway
