Re: vw to make mini van with chysler

This isn't the first time VW went to bed with Chrysler. Remember the Plymouth Horizon?



Oddly resembles the Rabbit....



Engine was made by VW too. I know I had a 1979 Horizon.

I think it will be interesting joint venture. Somehow I find people are a little too paranoid about this end product is going to be. How about the VW S(R)T line? Will you still puzzle that much?

Re: vw to make mini van with chysler

That's a terrible thought. Honestly, VW has enough platforms, why does it need to share with Chrysler? Why don't they just bring the Sharon or whatever it is to N.A.? I'm all for a VW van (probably wouldn't buy one but it's about time they got with it) but on a Caravan platform? They are one of the worst for reliability. I guess we'll see.

A polo I would buy, a polo/neon I wouldn't. I can't see a "VW fan" buying something shared with the neon platform (yes, I know it's fast), especially if it's "a neon with a VW badge".

Meh

is there actually a neon/polo? i think i'm gonna puke..

Well the latest rumors on the compact car are that VW/Chrysler are going to use the MK4 platform to build their economy car on, which should be based on the Dodge Hornet concept (at least Chrysler end). Thus VW is getting a lot of life out of the MK4 platform with this and Citi Golfs.

VW has vans already....I prefer the touran a small MPV....but I think this is terrible.......and about the TDI thing, most of them over in europe re TDI's, so its just a matter of shipping them over....
