Should see the final retail model at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

I think you made a smart move given the fact the minivans will be out of production for a few months.
Historically Chrysler has always done a good job of helping dealers get rid of previous model inventory when they launch a new vehicle and often the customers who wait to see the new model would rather have the older version once they compare pricing.
Concerning "bait" - I think it's an age old game that's been played with the dealers and factories for generations. One of my favorite stories was when a dealer indicated he agreed to take some Dodge St. Regis sedans so he could get some Dodge Omnis - this was during the 1979 gas crisis.
Who would have figured a lowly Dodge Omni would be "bait."
