The Freestar/Monterey is a total botch job... here is a vehicle that hasn't had a true redesign since the Windstar debuted and they just give it another skinning!

They should have put the minivan on the same platform as the Five Hundred/Freestyle... possibly also offering the AWD/CVT powertrain.

Other than that... the Five Hundreds seem to be selling well here... 9500 a month is roughly about 114,000 a year... assuming sales aren't still ramping up.
