Chrysler seems to want to position the Aspen 2007 SUV as a brilliant alternative to the luxury SUVs in the US market. No matter, it should work. It's got a bunch of the prmeier features customers look for in large SUVs, an excellent design that should appeal to most, best-in-class horsepower, torque and interior room. This one should be a winner, unless one really really looks at doomsday scenarios and a recall issue hits it, whcih is unlikely anyway.
