The Chrysler line up is quite thin. It can't give up much of anything and survive. And the dealer "realignment" of a few years back likely helped to bring franchises back together as Dodge/Chrysler dealers, so most of the dealers will still have a minivan to sell.
They're confident that the vast majority of their loyal Grand Caravan owners will simply go buy a Town and Country, when the time comes in the future.
