As far as re-badging a Dodge Caravan, what Porkchop said is partially correct, as the body and drivetrain will be from Chrysler, however, VW will design the interior. The need for a people hauler is apparently necessary for VW's marketing plans and they can get one on the road sooner by collaborating with someone else.
