Remember the rebadged Chrysler Town & Country minivan that debuted at the Geneva auto show in March this year as the Lancia Grand Voyager? How can we forget, we hear some of you cry out loud.
Well, the…Italian Grand Voyager may have yet to appear on the firm’s official webpage and Fiat’s press division may still have that single image showing a Town & Country photoshoped with Lancia badges (no, really, 6 months after we reported it, the Italians continue to display the same digitally manipulated picture…), but the minivan has made its appearance on the road.
But not where you’d expect. The Lancia Grand Voyager was spotted by Carscoop reader Molly S. travelling alongside a light-blue Chrysler minivan on the M-14 highway in eastern Michigan.
“I was driving on M14 East today when I saw a Grand Voyager in front of me. I got a photo of the back of the vehicle,” Molly told Carscoop.
“The badge says Lancia. I didn’t get a front/side view as I was going 70 on the freeway. There was a light blue minivan (Chrysler, I believe) with a manufacturer plate right in front of it that had the CRD logo on the lower left side, but the chrome band above the plate was like the ’08-’10 models, not all the way across like the ’11.”
After we congratulate Molly for managing to spot the Lancia badge on an other than that, ordinary Town & Country, we’ll pose the question: what was a diesel-powered Lancia Grand Voyager doing in Michigan? Head over to the comments sections to voice your thoughts.
