I think Chrysler chose front-engine design so they could (again) recycle
their existing front-drive technology!  Kind of hard to put the engine
in the rear, transversely mounted, and have it drive the front wheels!

Both the Caravan and the Vanwagon were recently reviewed by the
PBS program Motorweek.  Can someone summarize their findings?
