"No other automotive brand has more of a fresh, diverse product portfolio than the Chrysler brand," said Tom Marinelli. "With Pacifica, Crossfire and the phenomenal PT Cruiser, Chrysler showrooms will have some of the most appealing products under one roof, each of which underscores the brand's philosophy of stunning design, unparalleled innovation and unbeatable value."
And that last point might be Chrysler's main advantage. The Pacifica's price point is expected to start somewhere near $40,000, significantly lower than all of its competitors except maybe the future Ford. Will price be enough to make the Pacifica compete effectively? Of course not, but combined with its other winning attributes the Chrysler Pacifica is sure to occupy a significant chunk of this burgeoning new market.
