Hi all, Just thought I would send a quick update. Dealer got in a red and black RT so we took the black one on Friday. Here are my thoughts so far on the car after putting about 300km on it on the weekend. It's fully loaded. Very comfy ride. Very quiet on the interior and the finishing is definitely MUCH nicer than the <2010 models. A few things I'm very please with: GPS is garmin so very easy to use Rear backup camera works great and now has the guidance lines Rear park assist is nice to have Never driven with a self dimming mirror, very nice at night lots of power The colour EVIC in the console is very nice At first I was disappointed they eliminated the hard drive based system, but they added a SD card slot on the front so I just bought a 16gb card to put my music on. Audio streaming from my Iphone 4 seemed to work, have to play with it a bit more, didn't seem to be able to load up a playlist The centre arm rest is much comfier for the passenger and driver. What I'm not fond of that they changed/wasn't aware of We were told it was fully loaded, but there is no DVD player in the back. The Uconnect description says DVD but this is on the main unit. Wasn't impressed. There is no voice recognition for the GPS, I'm quite sure the 2010 had this feature. Remote start didn't seem to have the distance I was hoping for but it's decent Did a trip from Kelowna to Vernon yesterday on icy roads. Got about 11L /100km which I guess isn't too bad. This is average in going through the city of kelowna ect. The fuel efficiency info on the dash really helps change your driving manors.

Hi everyone. If you love reading manuals like I do or just excited to learn some of the features on the 2011 Journey there is now an app on iTunes. The catch is that it is only available to US customers. I have a US account as well so used that to get the app. Google how to get one if you need it. The app is pretty good. Kind of stripped down manual with pictures and video.

Anyone know if this will work on 2011 8.4 touch?

Nice pics. Mine should come in next week. R/t. Can you confirm if the little diplay behind the wheel. What does it show for gps info? Does it tell you to turn left on the road coming up? Does it have any graphical info? Fill me in.

Hi everyone, just wanted to give you an update, thanks for all the tips. Yes after doing my research the 2011 is the way to go. This is a major remodel and I like what I see. We just put a $1k deposit down on an fully loaded RT, I thought we were going to have to wait a few months to get one in but our dealer had one coming in next week in black so we took that one. He did $500 over cost. DodgeFan there was no $4500 discounts right now like what you go though, only $2000 according to www.canadacarcost.com So long story short, wife should be hopefully driving it next week.

Hi Dodgefan, thank you so much for your help on this. Please check you private messages as I sent you a bit more info. Does anyone on here know if BC would have different incentives vs Ontario as an example. Dodgefan says he got $4500 in discounts but my dealer says out here there is only $2000 off from the factory on the new ones. Thoughts?

Dodgefan. Can I ask you what you paid for your 2011? I loaded it up online for $35k. What was your cost at $500 over cost? Please let me know.

Hi all, The low price got us into our local BC dealer yesterday. They are "blowing out" the 2010 fully loaded R/t for $32k (asking) They say they are MSRP of $38 which sounds like a good deal. Couple of questions, how much wiggle room do you think is in the $32k price. I hear they can't get the 11's in untill they are sold out of the 10's. Yet I know the 2011's are delayed in coming out, but when I build one up on dodge.ca it comes out to fully loaded $35k and change. So really there is only $3k difference in the two. We are in no rush to buy so could wait a couple months for a 2011. What are your thoughts, to me the 2010 has to be down in the $27k range to make it more appealling. With the new engine in the 2011, and the redesigned dash (only thing I really dislike about the 2010), what is the best way to go? Going to go down to my dealer tomorrow to talk to them again about pricing, any input would be greatly appreciated!
