Chrysler also has a low bandwidth version of their site; look for the link on the bottom of the page.
The Pacifica is gone; only leftover 2008's remain, so if you were waiting for prices to drop... You lost.
The AWD Sebring
is also a goner for 2009. That makes the 2008 a single year special, and as such they could appreciate in value down the road.
Recent moves by the new administration make it feasible that Chrysler's flagship, the 300C, could be lost in the quest for saving the planet. (Don't get me started...) Do NOT let this car escape your attention if you are in the market for a big sedan. You can bet your bottom dollar that the Hemi V8 is going to be on the chopping block pretty soon. If you can squeeze your butt into the 300's cockpit, (I can't) you owe it to yourself to consider one of these. Even if it's only the 2wd version, because at least it is still a rear drive platform. A 300C Hemi V8 with the 5 speed automatic is a car we'll all look back on and say, "I shoulda got one of those."
A little history here... Chrysler and Mercedes merged in 1998, but the resultant firm did not live up to anyone's expectations, and after nearly 10 years, Mercedes sold Chrysler to Cerberus Capital Management, retaining a nearly 20% interest in Chrysler. Now, after the heap-o-troubles in 2008, Cerberus has given away 35% of Chrysler to Fiat in order to gain access to Fiat small car technology and their global dealer network. No money changed hands. Sounds pretty dire huh? (And who in their right mind thought trying to sell Americans a Dodge with ads by the obviously German Dr. Z was a good idea? Those guys need to be drawn and quartered. "Step away from the marketing materials, and no-one will get hurt...")
Chrysler AWD Choices
The 2009 Chrysler 300 series; developed under Mercedes ownership, was awarded one of Car and Driver Magazine's "10 Best" for its first 3 years in a row. The 300 is available w/AWD on the 250hp V6 Limited and Touring variations as well as the 340hp 5.7 liter Hemi V8 powered 300C . Based on the same platform as Dodge's Charger, the 300's AWD system maintains the rear-wheel-drive bias associated with high performance sedans. If you can swing it, I'd consider investing in an AWD 300C with the Hemi V8 and the Mercedes 5 speed automatic transmission. I believe it will be one for serious collectors down the road. Prices for the plush 300C AWD start at
$39,625, while the V6 300 Touring model can be had for
$33,140
