That's the question that VW will be asking its buyers very shortly when it introduces its Chrysler-based van called the Routan. Like Volkswagen's other Crack Jack names as of late there is an explanation, Routan is supposedly the word "route" combined with the "an" suffix so that it matches the global standards set by Touran and Sharan. Global naming has worked so well with the Golf, er I mean Rabbit, right?
In all fairness, the van will have a new interior and some exterior and suspension tweaks. As reported in a previous story, those interiors are "a lot nicer" than their Chrysler counterparts. If the above picture is to be trusted, the van might be a bit shorter as well? I'm actually looking forward to this one. Yeah, yeah it's a rebadge, but the Chryco vans are about a buck fifty in interior trimmings and suspension tweaks from being on my consideration list, this VW may fix those issues. The question is "How much?" We'll find out more about the vans very shortly at the Chicago Auto Show.
