I think the current model looks a bit more gangsta than the new one. |

It's like the Chrysler 300 SRT of people movers, throw gang signs with your right hand and make animal balloons with your left. |

I see a tiny bit of Ford Flex in that square wagon profile with different texture surfaces

They deffinately are not the 'Shane, get in the damn van' taragos or starwagons we were used to in the early 90s. I know one family with 4 kids (should have learnt the first time) who have an earlier elgrand highway star. So not top spec, but middle row captains chairs, and the 3.5L v6, it puts in a decent effort to try and escape its own shaddow.

Its a good looking car and bloody practical, we usually hire one on trips and while I know I should have bought one instead of the Paj Sport our want for semi-off road won out.
They are not cheap, but worth it IMO.

If Chrysler/Dodge ever grew a brain cell and made a RHD version. I would vote the Durango SRT the best Gangsta mobile.

Yes, I hired on of those in Canada for 4 weeks, it was so awesome. Only the R/T but the 5.7 was enough to have fun and sounded sweeeeeeeeeet.

Should be an extra row of seats.
Brembro brakes 710 HP Upgraded and non-farty exhaust Bilstein suspension Top speed 300 km/h 1/4 mile mid 11's 0-100 just over 3.5 seconds Can tow 4 ton. Mind you, these numbers are great on paper... But old chassis, heavy, very pricey, juice drinker and only be available for one year. New platform is coming 2022. |

And let me just say, good find Pablo. KIA and their recruitment are making people think.

Rented a Durango last year.
Good bit of kit. Only a v6 but plenty of grunt. Still preferred the suburban I hired a week later |
