Smart move if they promote it related to their groundbreaking minibus history. The same way Honda seeks to make thier van cool by referring to the 'cool' vans of teh '70s. I also hope they add thier own diesel engines to the model, chrusler engines are not the best choice.

As much as I hate minivans, most of my immediate family would consider nothing else. It's about time something like this is availible for those who want a taste of German engineering, style, and handling, while still keeping it practical. I think this could really revitalize a segment that has been neglected in favor of silly, inept "crossovers".

Yawn... The problem with minivans is space efficiency is maximized at the cost of everything else. If you want a good handling minvanish vehicle go drive a Mazda 5. Unfortunately you will find it will be too underpowered. This VW looks to be yet another minivan that allows for too many compromises. I'm still disappointed at Chrysler's decision not to compete in this market and I see VW kept the cheap looking plastic panel on the front seat backs. They look like a cast-off from a kids big wheel. The center stack looks OEM Chrysler as well.
