Lamborghini Aventador Miura Homage--For Sale

It's not every day that you see a 2016 Lamborghini Aventador. However, if you did see one, the odds that it was a Miura Homage edition--like the one seen here--are a mere four percent. That's right, there are only 50 examples of the Miura Homage Aventador in the world, and I was lucky enough to find this one for sale at an exotic car dealership in Illinois (for more information on the car, contact me at allcarseveryday@gmail.com). Outfitted in a gorgeous black and gold paint combination, this car is actually the first of all 50 models produced (see video here).

The Koenigsegg One:1 is a very rare car. There were seven units made in total, including one prototype. I found the only One:1 in the United States at a Ferrari Dealership in Illinois. I'm not sure how much it was for sale for, but I believe the car is worth in excess of $7 million. The One:1 is named after its power to weight ratio, or one metric horsepower for every kilogram of mass. Though the car is very light, it still requires 1,341 horsepower to achieve this ratio. Overall, very unique car and I will probably never see one again. I'm thankful to be able to share this beast here. Pictures are below!

2019 Ford F-150 vs 2019 Chevy Silverado vs 2019 Ram 1500

To watch the comparison video, click here.

      

                New for 2019 are the Ram 1500 and Chevy Silverado. This generation Ford F-150 has been out since 2015, but it received a mild update in 2018. This year’s comparison test should be very competitive. Before we begin, let me explain how I compare the trucks. The evaluation will be numeric in form on a scale from one to ten at the end of the video to compare them as objectively as possible. With that out of the way, let’s begin with our first area of speculation, which is value.

2019 Ford F-150, via allcarseveryday

               The 2019 Ford F-150 Lariat is the trim I will be evaluating today, and it starts at $41,700. Starting with the exterior features, the F-150 sports heated, auto-dimming, and power folding side mirrors, daytime running lights, LED box lighting and 18-inch aluminum wheels. Let’s move on to the interior, which is swathed with leather and woodgrain in the Lariat. The driver and front passenger are further coddled with 10 ways of power adjustability in the seats, and the pedals are power adjustable to fit the height of the driver. Speaking of which, the F-150 also has a memory function for the seat position depending on which key starts the vehicle. Other features include dual-zone climate control, an 8-inch infotainment screen in the dash, push button start, SiriusXM, WiFi, and Ford MyKey. MyKey promotes responsible driving so that parents can control their children’s use of the vehicle in terms of audio volume, speed, and seat-belt usage. The infotainment screen in the dash has Ford’s SYNC 3 on it, which comes with Bluetooth and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard. The only active safety technology that comes standard on the Lariat is pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking. I have a feeling that the Ram and Silverado will have more safety technology now that they’re essentially four years newer. So let’s check out the 2019 Silverado LT next, and see if I was right about the active safety.

2019 Chevy Silverado, via allcarseveryday

               Well, my hunch was wrong about the Silverado…in fact it has less standard safety

equipment than the Ford. But we’ll get to that in a second. The base LT is the cheapest truck of the group at $38,395. Standard exterior features are limited to 17-inch wheels, DRLs, and heated side mirrors. The seats in the Chevy are manually adjustable four ways for both the driver and passenger. The interior is cloth, the infotainment system is eight inches, and there is Bluetooth and Wifi. The Chevy also has remote keyless entry and a teen driver system. Apple CarPlay and Android auto are also present here. The climate control system is single-zone manual, but the truck has GM’s OnStar. At this point, the Chevy looks pretty sparse compared to the F-150, but remember it also comes at a $3,305 cost savings relative to that vehicle.

2019 Ram 1500, via allcarseveryday

The Ram 1500 Laramie is only $1,500 more expensive than the Chevy at $39,895. Let’s see if can one up the Chevy in terms of features. The exterior has similar features to the Ford like 18-inch wheels, daytime running lights, and the same side mirror features. The Ram actually has both LED headlights and taillights, something the other trucks don’t have. The inside has a memory function for the driver seat, but the front seats are bench style. The interior is still leather, and the steering wheel is heated. The Ram has a combined 12-way power adjustable driver and front passenger seat, and the biggest touchscreen in the segment at 8.4 inches. This houses Chrysler’s Uconnect system, which has Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, among more pedantic things like SiriusXM and Bluetooth. Keyless entry and push-button start are also present here. The standout interior features on the Ram are the nine speaker Alpine Audio system with a sub-woofer and navigation. These features are options on the other two trucks.

               Next, let’s look at the power-trains and performance of each truck. All three of the trucks I have here are being compared with their base engine for the trim line, which happens to be a V6 for two trucks and an inline four cylinder for another. You got that right…four cylinders. Don’t throw a fit in the comments just yet, though. I understand that lots of buyers opt for the V8 no matter what trim level they are at, but the manufacturers don’t list the price of the V8 as an option, and I don’t want to guess. Furthermore, the Silverado LT can’t even be optioned with a V6, let alone a V8. If I were to compare similar engines instead of price points, the cheapest Silverado with a V6 is the LTZ which starts at over $44,000. I’m evaluating what each truck offers at that price point, which is the fairest in my opinion. The 2019 F-150 Lariat comes with the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 with 325 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. The power comes from twin-turbos, thankfully the cylinders are still iron, as is the upper block. This engine is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Even though truck buyers may dismiss the V6, the truck actually gets down, taking only 5.9 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. This modern power-train promises a lot in terms of fuel economy, though most buyers aren’t too worried about that. Brands must still raise their Corporate Average Fuel Economy, though, and trucks aren’t immune. It’s tough to predict the reliability on this largely untested power-train though, especially since it’s boosted. We’ll have to see how it holds up as the years go on.

Let’s look at the Chevy and see if they too fell victim to downsizing, and how they decided to answer to the call. The Silverado LT comes with an identical displacement 2.7-liter engine, but as mentioned, it’s a four-cylinder engine. Because of this, it musters 310 horsepower and 348 pound-feet of torque and is mated to an eight-speed automatic. This power-train, though a unique solution to the fuel economy problems that GM is facing, seems weak compared to the V6’s the other trucks have. Not everything is about numbers, though as the four-cylinder Chevy can still hit 60 MPH in 6.8 seconds, so it’s no slouch. Also, Chevy may have the last laugh when we turn to fuel economy, which I will get to later.

And now for the Ram. It has the familiar Chrysler 3.6-liter V6, though it’s reworked for 2019 to deliver 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. Though dated for 2019, especially in comparison to the other trucks, this engine has literally more history, and many of its kinks have had the opportunity to be worked out over the years. The combination is good for a 7.4 second run to 60 miles per hour, which is embarrassing when confronted with the four-pot in the Chevy. Also, it lacks the torque that the turbos have added to the other two trucks, and we’ll see if it gets penalties in fuel economy or towing for the bigger size and less power.

Now, let’s touch on the payload and towing ratings of each vehicle. The F-150 in this configuration has a max payload of 1,910 pounds and can tow 7,600. The Chevy has a payload of 2,027 and can tow 6,800 pounds. The Ram has the best payload at 2,100 pounds and matches the Chevy with a max towing of 6,730. All three of these trucks can tow far more when equipped with different rear ends or towing packages, but these are the standard numbers.

Speaking of numbers, let’s quickly go over the fuel economy. The Ford gets 20 miles per gallon in the city and 26 on the highway. The Chevy gets 20 in the city and 23 on the highway. Looks like the smaller engine couldn’t beat the Ford even when it came to fuel economy, but it’s probably more due to transmission choice. The 10-speed in the Ford is in its element on the highway. The Ram is rated in the middle at 20 city and 25 highway. Sometimes a bigger engine working not as hard is still burning less gas than a smaller engine that’s getting its neck wrung.

Our next evaluation area is safety. I won’t be including active safety technology here because I already included it in value, but I will take a look at the IIHS ratings for each vehicle. The Ford does phenomenal here, earning good in every category and superior in the front crash prevention. The headlights are scored as poor, however. The only data for the Silverado was from 2018, but even then it earned good in most categories, except for driver-side small overlap where it got acceptable and headlights where it too got poor. The front crash prevention was rated basic in 2018, but it’s unfair to judge the 2019 model with these ratings. I assume the Silverado got better in crash prevention, but I will put an asterisk next to it at the end to remind everyone that the official ratings aren’t out yet. The 2019 Ram did even better than the Ford, scoring exactly the same everywhere except headlights, where its rating was bumped to marginal instead of poor.

Next let’s look at styling, which is a purely subjective category. Your tastes may not align with my own, but I think the 2019 Silverado is the best looking on the exterior. When it came out, I couldn’t tell if it was the best-looking truck of the year or the worst looking, but I eventually settled on best. The F-150 and Ram don’t carry the in-person road presence that I feel like the Silverado does. That may be because of ride height and wheels as well, but something about the Ram makes it feel like a car, not something Rams of yore are known for. Neither of the three are particularly ugly, but I do like the Ram second best and the Ford third. On the interior, the Ram is far and away the best, offering a luxurious feel with spacious usable room. The screen is rotated to be portrait instead of horizontal and the rest of the dash is clean while remaining modern. The Chevy comes in a distant second with the Ford at third. Again, neither interior is ugly, but the Chevy was a mere evolution of the 2018 model and the Ford has generally unattractive vent placement.

Our last area to look at is reliability. According to Consumer Report’s extensive testing, the 2019 F-150 is expected to have about average reliability, whereas the Silverado is rated worse than average and the Ram matches the Ford’s rating of average.

Here are the final points tallied up for each category. The Ram destroyed the value segment because of its super premium features for a good price, relative to both other trucks. Safety is all pretty close but remember that the Silverado isn’t rated yet so I gave it my best guess at what it will score. The Silverado and F-150 score big in powertrain and performance, but the Ram takes a hit for using an antiquated engine that’s slower than both other trucks. However, it made big strides in styling for having a beautiful interior and decent exterior. I weighted fuel economy less than the other categories since truck buyers care less about it. The Chevy lost two points in reliability as each step in the rankings Consumer Reports gives is worth two points in my comparisons. Finally, the F-150 wins capability by one point for having a significantly higher tow rating, though the Ram and Chevy beat it in payload. Ultimately, the Ram is the best truck to buy in 2019, though none of these offerings could really be considered ‘bad’. To each his own.

The valuations of each truck.

Top 8 Mercedes-Benz Concept Cars of All Time

To watch the video, click here.

Today on Top Ten, we’ll be looking at the eight coolest Mercedes-Benz concept cars for 2019.

Starting off this countdown at number eight is the Mercedes-AMG GT Concept, not to be confused with the already in production AMG GT Coupe. This car is a svelte almost shooting brake concept aimed directly at the heart of the Porsche Panamera. However, this concept would easily outmuscle the Panamera with 805 horsepower on tap from its four-liter twin turbo V8, which is actually shared with the AMG GT Coupe. Zero to 62 miles per hour will take under three seconds according to Mercedes, and the car boasts large carbon ceramic brakes and active aerodynamics. This concept is nearing close to production ready, and you should expect Mercedes to release a vehicle not too far off of this Concept in the upcoming years.

Number seven is one of my personal favorites, and it’s got a mouthful of a name. Ready? This is the Vision Maybach Ultimate Luxury Concept, and it’s huge. Measuring 19 feet long and riding on 24-inch wheels, this vehicle is stuck between segments. Is it a luxury SUV from Maybach, or is it more like a big sedan? Well, to put it simply, it’s kind of both. Similar to other cars later in this video, the Ultimate Luxury Concept has a 750 horsepower electric powertrain with four electric motors and an 80-kilowatt hour battery. The behemoth of a vehicle isn’t necessarily aerodynamic, but it still manages a top speed of 155 miles per hour. The interior is pure opulence, but unique features include the distinct split rear window and a tea set in the interior. Yes, you heard that right, the vehicle has a tea set that is kept to an ideal temperature of 85 degrees Fahrenheit for passengers to enjoy.

Number six is the only hydrogen-fueled concept here. The F125 has four electric motors that are powered by a fuel cell. The system output is rated at 231 horsepower and Mercedes estimates that the car can reach 60 miles per hour from a standstill in 4.9 seconds. This concept was released in 2011, and obviously never made it to production, though the company did have plans to start releasing fuel-cell vehicles in 2014. Either way, the aggressive styling and gullwing doors on the concept earn it a spot on this list.

Number five is the second longest car of the group at 18 feet long. The Mercedes-Maybach 6 is an all-electric concept that makes the standard concept Benz 750 horsepower and can drive for 200 miles on one charge. The car is a mere design exercise and will not spawn a production vehicle, but technology in the concept will slowly make its way down to other Mercedes production cars. The car is themed after a luxury yacht, with some examples coming with a white interior with all sorts of unique lighting elements. Possibly the most staggering statistic about the vehicle is that it rides on massive 24-inch rims.

Here at number four is the Mercedes-AMG Project One hyper-car. This is an approximately 3000 pound vehicle with an amazingly high-tech 1.6 liter V6 engine mated to four electric motors that result in a combined horsepower number well above 1000. That’s right, over 1000 horsepower from a one point six-liter V6. It wasn’t that many years ago the 1001 horsepower from the Bugatti Veyron seemed impossible from its eight-liter W-16, the biggest engine in a production car. Here’s more exciting news, the Project One is slated for production in the near future, most likely under a different name and slightly different styling. Benz has already sold all 275 cars slated for production, even though the production car will cost in excess of $3 million. Many say this vehicle is the more tamed down version of the next car—at least stylistically—the Vision Grand Turismo.

So here it is, the Vision GT—at number three. This vehicle was first seen in the Grand Turismo video game series in virtual form, but took physical form for the movie Justice League, as Bruce Wayne’s daily driver. The stunning concept had to be enlarged to 110% of its original size to be able to fit actor Ben Affleck’s tall frame and an interior also had to be developed since the video game car didn’t feature one. The vehicle has Mercedes’ familiar tuned twin-turbo V8 making 577 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. The Vision Grand Turismo is one of the more developed concepts of the ones presented here, but don’t expect it to go into production.

Coming in at number two is the SL Pure, which is inspired in style and name by the classic 300SL. The Pure is incredibly futuristic featuring butterfly style doors and no windows. The interior is presumed to be filled with 360 degrees of screens to allow the driver to see a virtual representation of the world around him or her. The headlights are mounted low on the front fascia ahead of the wheels, which are enlarged to fill massive wheel wells. Super low-profile tires wrap smokeless rims. As of now, the Pure is a mere design exercise, but it could have clues as to where Mercedes will go, stylistically. Note the light bar for the taillights and look for it in future cars.

Finally, the number one Mercedes-Benz concept is the Silver Arrow, a 750 horsepower one seat concept made entirely of carbon fiber. The car is a sight to behold at 17 feet long, which is only a foot short of a new Chevy Suburban. The side of the car features a blue under glow with ‘EQ’ signatures all over the vehicle. EQ is the name for Mercedes’ electric division which supplied this project with an 80-kilowatt hour battery that also allows the car to go about 250 miles on a single charge. The interior is just as futuristic as the rest of the car and it incorporates a wide panoramic screen that displays information about the surroundings of the car and can even superimpose ghost cars to race against on a racetrack.

We’ll see if Mercedes-Benz releases any more awesome concepts in the following year, and I’ll keep everyone updated. Thanks for reading!

2019 Toyota Sienna vs 2019 Honda Odyssey vs 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan vs 2019 Chrysler Pacifica

To watch the video, click here.

The 2019 model year is here, so it’s time to return to our comparison tests. The four minivans being compared here are always constantly fighting to be the best people mover, and this year is no different. As minivan sales slouch and SUV sales continue to increase, however, some van’s very nameplates are at stake. Take the 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan, for example. 2019 appears to be the last year this vehicle will ever be in production, until all Fiat Chrysler minivan sales are redirected to the Pacifica. Ironically, the Grand Caravan still outsells the Pacifica handily, despite the van being essentially 11 years old. The Toyota Sienna is a fan favorite and thousands sell every month. Honda hopes to steal some of these sales with their relatively new van, the Odyssey. Before we begin evaluating each vehicle, I need to explain how I will conduct the comparison. I use a numerical points-value system at the end of the article to assess every area of each vehicle as objectively as possible. With that being said, let’s begin with our first area of appraisal: value. Our first van, the 2019 Sienna XLE, starts at $37,090. Standard features on the XLE include heated outside mirrors with blind spot warning and rear cross traffic alert, power sliding doors, one touch door handles, a power moonroof, 17-inch alloy wheels, and a three-zone climate control system. On the interior, the Toyota has a 7.0-inch color touchscreen that houses Entune 3.0, Toyota’s in-house infotainment system. The XLE version comes with a subscription to SiriusXM, Toyota Connected Services with WiFi, and other things. However, most of these items are on a subscription basis. All seats in this trim Sienna are leather and the front two captain’s chairs are powered and heated. Other features include dynamic radar cruise control, a leather trimmed steering wheel, a 4.2-inch display in the instrument cluster, remote start, and a smart key system also come in the Sienna. Parents will appreciate the universal garage door receiver, ten cupholders, the wide variety of USB and 12V sockets, and the power tailgate. They will further appreciate all of the active safety systems preventing the Sienna from running into other cars and people: included are pedestrian detection with a pre-collision system, and lane departure alert with steering assist. Though the Sienna may seem as though it is optioned well, the van was last fully redesigned in 2011, and it is starting to show. It does not accommodate for new technologies, like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. However, the Sienna does excel at moving people and objects, which is the main goal of a minivan anyway. Let’s move on to the 2019 Honda Odyssey EX-L, which begins life at $37,610. The exterior of the van features heated outside mirrors, power sliding doors, and a keyless entry and exit system. The Honda will automatically lock or unlock the car after the key either enters or exits an eight-foot radius around the vehicle. The moonroof on the Honda is powered like the Sienna, as is the tailgate, however users can set programmed height for the tailgate on the Odyssey. Push-button start and a tri-zone climate control system as well as a universal remote and a leather-wrapped steering wheel make life easier for Honda buyers. Additionally, the front two seats can be power adjusted many different ways, and are heated. The first two rows in the Honda are leather, and it also has remote engine start. Bluetooth, and seven speakers with a subwoofer come standard and the Honda has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability on the Honda’s 8-inch color touchscreen. SiriusXM, collision mitigation braking, blind spot detection, a lane-keeping system and a road departure mitigation indicator are on all EX-L Odyssey’s. The 2019 Chrysler Pacifica Touring L starts at $35,945. Standard exterior features include 17-inch, ten-spoke wheels, LED headlights and taillamps, power sliding doors and liftgate, and heated exterior mirrors. On the interior, the vehicle has heated front seats, and an 8-way power adjustable driver’s chair. The Pacifica makes use of Chrysler’s excellent Stow-N-Go system, which allows for the second and third rows in the Pacifica to be folded into the floorboard with ease, so that the load floor of the rest of the van is flat. This eases cargo carrying capability and makes life with the Pacifica significantly easier. The Chrysler is dotted with 12-volt outlets and USB ports, and it also has a tri-zone climate control system, all leather seating and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. In the dash sits a 7-inch color touchscreen housing Uconnect, which is Chrysler’s infotainment system. Weirdly, the Pacifica supports Android Auto, but not Apple CarPlay. Fiat-Chrysler is the first company I have seen contract with one technology company but not the other. Six speakers, keyless entry, and push-button start round off the interior. Active safety systems on the Pacifica are actually pretty slim, offering only blind-spot detection and rear-cross path detection. It does have a parking aid that will brake for you when you are about to hit another vehicle or object, but other than that, more advanced safety systems will cost you extra. The 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan somehow manages to continue on into the year 2019, with only changes to the curtain airbags. Originally, 2018 was supposed to be the last year this vehicle was in production, but its sales have continued to be strong so FCA renewed its lease on life. Unfortunately, though the Grand Caravan sells in numbers, it cannot be the best van here. The Grand Caravan has been around since 2008 without any major updates, and it cannot compete with the likes of the Odyssey or even its own cousin, the Pacifica. However, since it remains such a strong sales contender, it is worth comparing it to the other vans. The top of the line Grand Caravan SXT starts at a comically low $31,750. On the exterior, the Dodge is gussied up with 17-inch aluminum wheels, heated mirrors, and a power liftgate and doors. On the interior, the Grand Caravan has a tri-zone climate control system, the same fantastic Stow-N-Go seats for the second and third rows seen in the Pacifica, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. All seats are leather, and the driver seat is 8-way power adjustable, but the passenger will have to adjust their seat manually. Here again, the Grand Caravan has Android Auto but not Apple CarPlay. In the center console is a 6.5-inch touchscreen housing the usual Bluetooth and SiriusXM found in the other vans. The final two features on the SXT are remote start and keyless entry. Next, let’s evaluate the powertrains and performance of each van. The 2019 Sienna comes with a 3.5-liter V6 engine with 296 horsepower and 263 lb-ft of torque. This motor is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission that drives the front wheels—AWD is optional. The powertrain is good for a 6.8 second run to 60 miles per hour, with a quarter mile time of 15.5 seconds. The 2019 Honda Odyssey also has a 3.5-liter V6, this time rated at 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. The Honda has the most modern transmission of the group, a 9-speed automatic with paddle shifters. The 9-speed and V6 propel the Honda to 60 miles per hour in 6.7 seconds and the quarter in 15.2 seconds. The Pacifica has a slightly bigger 3.6-liter engine with 287 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, and it matches the Honda’s 9-speed automatic. This setup is good for a 7.2 second 0-60 time and a 15.3 second quarter. Let’s move on to the Grand Caravan, which has the same 3.6-liter V6 as the Pacifica, but makes slightly less power at 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft. Unfortunately, because FCA hasn’t put as much effort into the Grand Caravan as they have in the Pacifica, it retains only a 6-speed automatic. This hinders performance, and the Grand Caravan takes 7.9 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour and 16 seconds flat in the quarter. Next, let’s try and look at how family-friendly these vehicles are, because that’s what they’re designed for. The Grand Caravan and Pacifica have the Stow-N-Go seats which make increasing the cargo space significantly easier. The Pacifica has 165 cubic feet for passengers and can stow 140.5 cubic feet with all the seats down. It seats seven comfortably, but 8 in a pinch. The Honda has 160.1 cubic feet for passengers and 140.7 cubic feet behind the front row of seats, and seats 8. The Grand Caravan can hold 140.3 cubic feet of cargo space and is unrated for passenger space but seats a maximum of 7. The 2019 Sienna has a massive 150 cubic feet behind the front seats and is unrated in passenger space and can seat 8 if need be. Now, let’s move on to safety. Of course, each van has some array of active safety features, but let’s see what the crash-worthiness of each van is, per the IIHS. The 2019 Sienna gets ratings of ‘Good’, the highest mark possible, except for the small-overlap on the driver-side, which was ‘Acceptable’. The 2019 Pacifica is a top safety pick, and the only area it gets an ‘Acceptable’ rating on is the headlights. The trim we are comparing, the Touring L, has better headlights anyway. Oddly, the 2019 Odyssey gets the exact same ratings as the Pacifica, but the child seat-latch anchors are apparently easier to use. This means it too, is a top safety pick. The Grand Caravan is old, and as such wasn’t engineered to meet the small front overlap test, where it gets a rating of ‘Poor’. Most of the rest of the ratings are ‘Good’, but it wasn’t enough to give it a top safety pick. Let’s now look at fuel economy, as this is something every minivan driver is sure to have on their mind. The 2019 Sienna gets 19 miles per gallon in the city and 27 on the highway, for a combined 22 miles per gallon. The Odyssey gets similar mileage at 19 in the city, 28 on the highway, and the same 22 combined mpg. The Chrysler Pacifica gets identical ratings to the Odyssey, but the Grand Caravan shows its age with ratings of 17 in the city and 25 on the highway for a combined 21. Next, let’s look at our most controversial segment, which is styling. This is a subjective category, mind you, so take my ratings with a grain of salt. The Pacifica is about as seductive as a minivan can be, both inside and out, and manages to have the best looking exterior and interior. The Honda comes in a close second in terms of exterior, as does the interior, though to a lesser extent. I like the Dodge’s exterior better than the Sienna’s, but I like the Sienna’s interior more. Again, as are many other features of the Grand Caravan, the styling seems like an afterthought. This van was never meant to be beautiful though; form always follows function with this particular vehicle. Finally, let’s move on to our last area of evaluation, which is reliability. Of course, families want their van to be as dependable as possible, and the Toyota has them covered. According to Consumer Reports, the predicted reliability of a new Sienna is much better than average, compared to the Odyssey’s average rating, and the FCA cousin’s ratings of much worse than average. Well, that’s it for the 2019 minivan comparison! Here are the rankings of each van in each category on a scale from one to ten. The Sienna and Grand Caravan offer the most features for the money, hence their value scores. The Grand Caravan’s aging powertrain set it back in the powertrain and performance category. Its age shows again in the safety evaluation, where the two top safety picks each score a nine. The two Fiat-Chrysler vans score low in reliability, and the Grand Caravan falls behind again in fuel economy. For ease of use, the Pacifica and Grand Caravan both make gains for the Stow-N-Go seats, but the Odyssey and Grand Caravan are docked a point for seating one less person. Overall, the Sienna turns into the most well-rounded vehicle.
