The 2017 Chrysler Town and Country with a slightly smaller 3.2 instead of 3.6 (maybe) and a 9 speed rather then a 6 speed. (Basically the power tain in the current Cherokee). Then it gets more aerodynamic and AWD will return. Here's the cool thing about the AWD. It will be an electric motor driving the rear wheels with the gas driving the standard FWD. That means it can be hybrid as well. I bet even the standard version ends up EPA highway over 30mpg. http://www.allpar.com/model/m/2017.html
Oh an by then the Chrysler v6s should be upgraded with direct injection and a few other things.
