The Eurovan wasn't exactly a corner-carver like the rest of their lineup - and if anything transmitted a little too much back to the driver - not fun in a comfort vehicle.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MemphisNET]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 1st 2008 9:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/spy-shots-volkswagen-routan-vannin-around/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/spy-shots-volkswagen-routan-vannin-around/</guid><description><![CDATA[VW has terrible quality control problems, but at least their vehicles are generally very attractive, inside and out.  So who do they source their minivan from?  Chrysler -- known for their own quality control problems as well, but they are also known for vehicles that are ugly inside and out.<br><br>Another brilliant move by VW.

Chrysler needs the volume and VW needs (?) a minivan so I guess the pair worked a deal, too bad they didn't do it with, say, Honda.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Atomicbri]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 1st 2008 9:58AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/spy-shots-volkswagen-routan-vannin-around/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/spy-shots-volkswagen-routan-vannin-around/</guid><description><![CDATA[wow, another minivan, i can hardly contain my excitement.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.............]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DJ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 1st 2008 10:11AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/spy-shots-volkswagen-routan-vannin-around/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/spy-shots-volkswagen-routan-vannin-around/</guid><description><![CDATA[I especially love the gigantic watermarks that render the image useless.

Of course, having said that, I'd like to indicate that I, am, in no way defending VW for their choice for an engineering partner.  I'm just banking on the VW being a little nicer than its Chrysler counterparts, especially if VW uses THEIR parts suppliers and not Chrysler's.  Plusher leather, perhaps?  <br><br>I guess we can't hold out for an AWD version <br>with the DSG tranny, can we?

Actually VW ended up with the better end of the deal because the van looks like a better looking Odyssey instead of a Chrysler.  The interior is similar to the Touareg, so no apologies there.  It will be priced with nice options in the high-20s so it should be competitive.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Heel5man]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 2nd 2008 1:17PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
