On the flip side, maybe you should be asking why are the Sienna and Odyssey so expensive? They have their problems too.

Made in Canada means lower quality? Do you realize how many different makes and models are built in Canada?
As for Fiat, that just happened, how in the hell would that effect previous years quality?????
Anyhow, I agree that for the money, the Caravan is a great vehicle. I love my 2002 Grand Caravan. It has acceptable build quality and I have had no issues other than making up for the maintenance that was not done by the previous owner. I still get 19mpg city and over 27mpg highway and the van still looks excellent. I am not saying that build quality is an issue only for Dodge.
Build quality for ALL North American vehicles is substandard. Even European cars built in North America suffer. This may be an unpopular view, but it is the truth.
Anyhow, buy what you like because the quality is acceptable and you'll be happy only if you buy what makes you happy.
