Dodge has been showing a lot of love lately to muscle car enthusiasts.  In recent months, they’ve released a series of nostalgic colors for the Challenger and Charger that appeal to the sense of nostalgia a muscle car driver typically has.  The “Plum Crazy” purple, “B5 Blue” and “Sublime” green colors are all meant to recall a bygone age of the muscle car.  Dodge is looking to expand that by adding additional colors.

Dodge unveiled at the 11th annual Spring Festival in Irvine, California that they’d be expanding the color palette of the Charger and Challenger SRT models with the Go Mango exterior paint.  This is a call-back to the iconic 1970 Challenger.

The new color combines red and orange tones and has a real high-octane look to it.  If you’re looking for a unique color for a Charger or Challenger, this new Go Mango paint really seems to stand out in a crowded field.

“Powerful performance cars like our Dodge Charger and Challenger demand high-impact colors,” said Tim Kuniskis, Head of Dodge Brand.  “Dodge muscle cars have a long history of unique paint colors with iconic names, and we’ll continue to reach back into our paint code archive to give our enthusiasts customers what they want.”

The 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan has been named by Kelley Blue Book as a winner of its 5-Year Cost to Own Award.  This is the second time in three years that the Grand Caravan has been awarded in the minivan/van category.

The awards honor vehicles and brands that have the lowest projected ownership costs based on Kelley Blue Book’s 5-Year Cost to On data.

“The original minivan, the Dodge Grand Caravan, remains the champ in 5-Year Cost to Own by essentially running the table on the key ownership cost attributes,” said Jack Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst.  “It costs less to buy; it is less costly to maintain, and it depreciates less rapidly than its minivan competitors.  Plus, it offers a variety of creature comforts unmatched by others in its segment.”

The 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan is one of the best-selling, most awarded minivans ever.  Its affordability and versatility has made it one of the most popular minivans on the market.  It has exclusive Super Stow ‘n Go seating allowing families that need to store additional things or have more seats for passengers in a matter of seconds.

The Dodge Grand Caravan Continues Production Past 2016

Dodge Grand Caravan Continues into 2016 - DodgeDealerNY

When Chrysler put out their five year plan, one of the most noticeable things that would be happening was the Dodge Grand Caravan would be getting benched.  The reason, at the time, was that Chrysler wanted to do less in the brand family to compete against each other.  Rather than have multiple minivans, they would concentrate on a single one.  The winner of the minivan segment was the Chrysler Town & Country, meaning the Grand Caravan would be no more after 2016.  However, Automotive News stumbled across a production document that shows the Grand Caravan may have some life left in it.

The memo states that the Grand Caravan is still planned for 2017, being produced along with the redesigned Town & Country.  The new Town & Country is set to start its production at the Windsor, Ontario plant on Feb. 29th 2016.  The 2016 Grand Caravan is slated to start this August and to end production in August 2016.  The 2017 model of the Grand Caravan will then be almost immediately put into production on August 23rd, 2016.

Since the 2016 run will be brief, there is no slated changes for the newer Grand Caravan models.

Why does it seem that Dodge is going back on their plan to no longer produce the minivan?  Automotive News thinks it may have to do with wanting to make sure there is no market loss as the company shifts over to the Town & Country.  With the short production life, it may give Dodge the chance to cut production depending on how things go.  It will also allow the Grand Caravan to continue to sell in Canada where it is the number 1 selling minivan.
