When it comes to minivans and sport-utility vehicles, it seems the more luxurious the better, and automakers are scurrying to build as many upscale models as they can. That is the one I drove. The major differences between the Limited and LXi are found inside, where Taupe is the only interior color.
Front seats are captain's chairs upholstered in perforated leather.
The gauges have light-cream faces with dark numbers, and I found them to be most handsome, although a friend didn't like them at all. Imitation suede and pieces of woodgrain trim line the door panels, and another large section of woodgrain trim surrounds the stereo and climate controls in the center of the dash. Limiteds come in Candy Apple Red Metallic, Taupe Frost, Golden White Pearl and Deep Slate. The roof rack and all body cladding are painted to match the body, while chrome door handles provide a glittery accent. This engine, stronger than previous versions, has 240-lb.
