Interessante, ad Agosto rallentano tutti con Pacifica costante.

Non riesco bene a capire se è buon segno o se 8'000 pezzi mese sono il limite di vendita.

Vediamo l'autunno, probabilmente e' anche un pelo più cara delle concorrenti.

Mi paiono comunque numeri buoni, per ora.

A guida autonoma

Fiat Chrysler and Google’s recently renamed self-driving car project, Waymo, have debuted the self-driving Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivan that will soon join the tech company’s autonomous test fleet in California.
The vehicles are currently being outfitted with a purpose-built computer, sensors, telematics and other systems and should be set to hit the road in early 2017.  Engineers from both Google and FCA collaborated on the project, making the electrical, powertrain, chassis and structural modifications needed to fit them with self-driving tech. When Waymo eventually takes delivery of all 100 vehicles in 2017, it will have nearly doubled the size of its autonomous test fleet.
“The Pacifica Hybrid will be a great addition to our fully self-driving test fleet. FCA’s product development and manufacturing teams have been agile partners, enabling us to go from program kickoff to full vehicle assembly in just six months,” Waymo CEO John Krafcik said in a statement.“They’ve been great partners, and we look forward to continued teamwork with them as we move into 2017.”
FCA first announced its partnership with Google in May of this year, but remained tight-lipped on exactly what it entailed for the rest of the year. The two companies said the project will help them both to “better understand what it will take to bring self-driving cars into the world.” It’s not clear if the partnership will extend beyond these 100 vehicles, however FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne has made it clear collaborations with tech companies such as this will be a big part of the automaker’s future.
“As consumers’ transportation needs evolve, strategic collaborations such as this one are vital to promoting a culture of innovation, safety and technology,” Marchionne said. “Our partnership with Waymo enables FCA to directly address the opportunities and challenges the automotive industry faces as we quickly approach a future where fully self-driving vehicles are very much a part of our daily lives.”
Last week reports emerged that Waymo intends to eventually launch a ride-sharing service using its autonomous Pacifica Hybrid. Spokespersons from both companies declined to comment on the matter. What’s more, this announcement is expected to be entirely separate from the upcoming FCA vehicle announcement at the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) next month.

La Pacifica "le busca" dalla rinnovata Honda Odissey

 

Cita

 

Pacifica and Odyssey are both new, and at the top of their games. Can we find any daylight between the minivan world’s sales champions?

– Detroit, Michigan

All vehicles are good or bad based on how individuals use them. That fact makes minivans incredibly difficult to evaluate, since they’re essentially created to do every mundane automotive thing fairly well. Which isn’t to say minivans themselves are boring. Stuffed with technology and wild features, this segment offers more to actually test and evaluate than any other.

That’s why I was so excited to have the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica and the 2018 Honda Odyssey in the Motor1 office at the same time. We’ve praised each of these vehicles in earlier reviews, so driving them both, head to head, seemed like a natural. The only trouble being that, at the end of a comparison test, you kind of have to pick a winner.

Chrysler: Is this the most attractive minivan shape of all time? Our own Editor in Chief, John Neff, lavished praise on the Pacifica’s curvaceous shape, calling it “legitimately attractive” along with lengthier design praise. Even in the very plain shade of gray you see here, the shape is tidy and the proportions well considered. The dubious Chrysler history of tarting up exteriors with gaudy chrome jewelry is in check here, too (chrome mirror caps notwithstanding). Even the very unusual slant of the D pillar and rear glass makes the Pacifica seem a little bit more upscale.

I’m not as convinced about the interior styling, which, while dramatically rendered here in browns and blacks, feels a bit to nouveau riche in overall affect. The leather is nice enough for a minivan, but something in the contrast between those panels and the hard black plastic just makes it feel like the Pacifica is trying too hard.

Honda: In contrast with the simple, sculptural surfaces of the Pacifica’s body panels, the Odyssey has a lot going on. Three prominent creases in the bodyside compete with flattened wheel arches, a “floating roof” effect, and a very bold front grille for attention. I’ll admit that the Honda looks more handsome in person than it does in pictures, but with the kind of “characterful” appearance that is just the opposite of the Chrysler’s easy-to-understand good looks.

Inside I feel right at home, however. This cabin has a very high-tech vibe blended with nice (sedate) material choices that feel both upscale and durable. There’s not the kind of wow factor you get with the Pacifica, but overall I like the low-key approach a little bit more.

Advantage: Chrysler Pacifica

 

Chrysler: The Pacifica offers supple ride quality, with an excellent powertrain, all wrapped up in a very quiet package (at least before you add the youngsters in the back). I find this especially impressive in light of the ginormous 20-inch rolling stock – although those big wheels do cause some pothole-induced anxiety.

Ample power is provided from the 3.6-liter V6 – 287 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque – which is meted out smoothly by the 9-speed automatic. Save for quick blasts up to highway speeds (where there’s not untoward squatting), I didn’t get a lot of joy from the combination of power and suspension response; the Pacifica stays out of its own way if you go around a corner quickly, but only just.

Honda: The Odyssey has a reputation as a “good-handling” minivan that is both well-deserved, and that carries on in this new generation. Certainly, designers and engineers would like to hammer home that rep; paddle shifters on the steering wheel and a low-slung seating position seem to back the sporty aspirations.

And if any of that is important to you, the Honda does feel a shade stiffer in a corner, and more potent pulling out of it, than the Chrysler. Very similar output ratings from the 3.5-liter V6 – 280 hp and 262 lb-ft – nevertheless feel slightly stronger on the road, perhaps a result of the 10-speed automatic transmission having a sport mode and a propensity to downshift.

The Odyssey doesn’t give up anything in terms of ride quality, either, though it might be just barely louder while cruising on the freeway.

Advantage: Honda Odyssey (by a slim margin)

 

 [...]

There couldn’t possibly be a narrower gap between these two excellent vehicles. Yeah, when you add up the advantages, Honda seems to have more. But consider that price and fuel economy are essentially ties, ride and handling are only slightly more definitive, and styling is subjective. Both are excellent to use, innovative, and fantastic tools for the tasks of family living. In the end, my verdict comes down to a slightly intuitive sense about the one I’d rather have in my own driveway…

Winner: Honda Odyssey

non mi pare proprio che le "buschi". Vince la Honda per uno strettissimo margine.

[lelao]

Mi chiedo come si possa chiamare un minivan con un nome che richiama un viaggio (involontariamente) lungo, travagliato in cui sono morti tutti tranne uno.

 

Avrebbero dovuto chiamarlo Odysseus (ma c'era già l'Ulysse  ), se avessero voluto richiamare l'instancabile mitico viaggiatore; invece hanno richiamato la sua "epopea".

 Da toccarsi i maroni ad ogni partenza.
