A VW Minivan?

PURE speculation. But then it’s always fun to speculate, right?
New Car Search has posted an image of a “heavily disguised prototype”, thought be be maybe a Dodge Caravan or VW Minivan (as the two companies have entered into a minivan deal). It is an interesting partnership, that could be beneficial to VW as DaimlerChrysler seems to own the minivan market.
While I can’t really say that the vehicle in question looks like a dub, you never know. These “spy photos” are always fun to look at.












It’s probably a Chrysler van. I think it’s too early for a VW prototype to be hittng the roads yet - from what I’ve heard of the VW/DC minivan deal, they’re still in the planning stages on the proposed vehicle.
I just hope the VW designers give us something that looks good - the Eurovan, and its predecessor, the Vanagon, were both dog-ugly (and I’m being kind here)!
Good god let us hope it’s not really a VW. Totally agree with ya on the Eurovan and Vanagon there too. But, I can’t think of a van that I look at and say “frikin’ sweet!”.
Of course that’s kind of the nature of the beast. While I can’t say I’m a huge fan of it, I do like the idea that Honda had with the Element. At least they’re offering a minivan alternative.
