i would have to say that this is probably the best exterior look for dodge this year...sadly...and I am that person who still has confidence about the up-coming Chrysler products...Dont stop believin yet kids...(new Ram...wait for it)and nitro and caliber were rough..but new caravan is one of the best chrysler vehicles in last 20 years

I like the looks of the Journey, from outside at least.

Dodge has done a lot worse lately. Caliber, new Caravan, Nitro.

What is a space wagon? Easy. A Space Wagon is something the soccer mom consumer will buy, whereas a minivan is something the soccer mom consumer won't.

has Dodge resorted to hiring minions of Satan to sell this thing? there's an awful lot of big red goat going on in the background.

What? No wheel in the sky joke? At least it doesn't have the deformities of the Nitro.

Of course, in Seth's example, the 5 has sliding doors, and the old MPV's had hinged doors. So go figure.

Minivans are lame, and space wagons quite clearly aren't. It's really quite cut and dry, wouldn't you say?

I would say general differences (not 100% of the time) would include ride height, profile, overall height, bench seats vs bucket seats, and most importantly sliding doors vs hinged doors.

@Retiree:
Size and configuration I think, for example:

Mazda5 = Spacewagon

Mazda MPV = Minivan

Spacewagons are narrower, and should get better mileage. Or I'm wrong, and the car actually goes into space. Which would be awesome.

What's a space wagon, and how does it differ from a minivan?

That doesn't look half bad.

The interior probably hates you though, and I betcha when it gets here, the EPA numbers will still be lame.

For our next trick, we will pull a $2,500 rebate out of the glove compartment.
