Dodge Caravan
For more than 5 years, the Dodge Caravan has been taking the minivan market by storm. Upon its debut at the 1995 North American International Auto Show, it quickly stood out as a revolutionary model, featuring a novel driver's side sliding door and Easy Out Roller Seats. Between 1996 and 2000, 8 powertrains - from a 2.4L four-cylinder to a 3.8L V6 - were available in three- or four-door configurations, and either long or short wheelbase models. The Caravan, along with the Plymouth Voyager and the Chrysler Town & Country, won the North American Car of the Year award and was listed in the Car and Driver Ten Best for 1996 and 1997. In 1998, further exterior styling updates to the Caravan Sport and ES models were introduced, and the ES model was the first minivan to feature the "AutoStick" transmission and 17-inch wheels.
