It's also troubling the other version of the Town Country is the highly speculative electric version./p p[Cruise over to a href="http://www.automobilemag.com/features/news/0812_top_10_relevant_products_detroit_has_to_offer/index.html"Automobile Mag/a for their reasoning]/ppa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/eZ4Epw3ADSMsH-BpxtSTL6DiRTI/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/eZ4Epw3ADSMsH-BpxtSTL6DiRTI/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare"a href="http://feeds.gawker.com/~f/jalopnik/full?a=Fge9hg7z"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/jalopnik/full?d=120" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.gawker.com/~f/jalopnik/full?a=Ksf2EoKg"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/jalopnik/full?d=41" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.gawker.com/~f/jalopnik/full?a=VK0VyVl0"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/jalopnik/full?i=VK0VyVl0" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.gawker.com/~f/jalopnik/full?a=lNbsTkfA"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/jalopnik/full?i=lNbsTkfA" border="0"/img/a/divimg src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/jalopnik/full/~4/419GzXufe5E" height="1" width="1"/
