When it comes to special editions, few car brands are quite as prolific as the American Stellantis brands. Jeep is surely the leader. Just this year it has been putting out new editions every month. The other brands aren't being left out, though. Chrysler just revealed its own special Pacifica themed around the United States of America's 250th anniversary. It certainly fits the theme, but we don't think we'd call it quite as inspired as the country it's named after.Stellantis You Can Have It In Any Color You Want, As Long As It's Red, White, Or Blue We're not kidding about the paint colors for the Pacifica America250 special edition. The sole choices for this special edition package are Red Hot, Bright White, and Hydro Blue. Those exterior colors are one of the few visual cues that signal the patriotic nature of this van. The others include black-painted trim and 20-inch wheels, some badges, and, most prominently, a set of vinyl graphics.StellantisThe ones at the front are a pair of decals that create an interesting fading pattern from the lights and vents toward the middle of the bumper. They aren't just simple dots or squares, though. The pattern consists of dozens of stars, shifting what would be a relatively subtle decoration into a surprisingly brash one. They're matched with American flag decals on either side of the van, along with yet more stars. Chrysler seems to recognize that some buyers may find these graphics to be a little much, so you can actually opt to delete them, which will also get you a $495 credit on your purchase.StellantisThe interior feels a little more mature and considered than the exterior. The seats are finished in black perforated leather. A blue layer is visible through the perforations, and the seats are stitched together with contrasting red thread that matches the seat belts. The front seat backs also feature embossed American flags. The steering wheel gets red, silver, and blue stitching, the instrument display has a custom America250 start-up screen, and the key fobs are branded, too. It's Rather Affordable Chrysler certainly could've gone all-out and created a lavish, high-end special edition, but instead it opted to keep this edition both relatively basic and offered with a basic trim level. That means it's not overly expensive. It's based on the Select trim, which is the lowest trim with the new styling that was revealed a few months ago.It can also be paired with either front- or all-wheel drive. The package itself is $2,995, so the front-drive version has an MSRP of $46,540, and the all-wheel-drive one starts at $49,535. With the $1,995 destination charge, those prices come to $48,535 and $51,530 respectively.Chrysler is taking orders for the vans now, and they'll be arriving at dealers this summer, hopefully in time to take new owners' families to Independence Day celebrations. While not overly expensive, these vans are going to be relatively rare. Only 2,100 examples will be built, so if you want one, you'll want to act quickly.
