Maybe but I have to tell you that the Jeep flares on the new S type aren't doin it for me. The possibility of being able to carry six real sized adults in comfort is pretty appealing.

Wow a Chrysler Pacifica/ MBZ minivan on steroids? The front fascia looks nice, but it's an oxymoron?!

Yep, this is more the comments I thought would regurgitate up here on the R. Hardly a performance vehicle.

Not really, Flip. I thought so too at first, when I first saw the R-Class, but there are major platform differences between the Pacifica and the R-Class. (See my earlier post in this thread).
The general shape of the body is similiar...especially in back....a but engines, drivetrains, suspensions, and, of course, the interior, are all quite different.
