The 2009 Minivan that is built for the North American market by Chrysler for VW is to be called Routan according to a source from the popular VW Enthusiast site forums.VWvortex, he posted that this information is readily available in th VW Dealer Network computer system.
Where the name Routan come from is a mystery to us here at The VW Gazette, whether it plays on Touran or maybe its a combo of Route and Sedan (Minivan) or maybe its named after Routan Creek in California we just don't know.
Routan if that is indeed the final name of the Chrysler-VW Product will be revealed at the Chicago Auto Show in early February.
ooo.. interesting; caliber coupe, demon, chrysler derivatives, and a few hybrids probably, since that is what ChryCo is lacking right now in their line-up, entry-level sedans/coupes & hybrids.
i dunno; and unfortunately neither do you. I also am interested in the almost only inline-6 available left in the US. [And slimming, Ford is about to cut production of theirs, and BMW is the only other producer of them]
