Well, I agree with the 100% dismayal of Fowvay.
Minivans are just not that great in general. 99% of the time I see one or two people driving around in them, driving obnoxiously, wasting gas, and being too big. There is some legitimacy, and not all (not even nearly) minivan drivers are bad drivers. I just don't get why we need one.
Also, I don't like the idea ONE BIT that VW is teaming up with Chrysler to make this. Chrysler isn't an inherently bad company, but it's an American car. Which means a guzzling, droning engine with 10mpg and 100hp, a sloppy sloopy drivtrain with probably 3 speeds, and steering that's as numb as novacaine. This scares me. A VW CAN NOT EVER be a VW without a spirited engine and communicative steering. I don't know how VW is going to get around the fact that it's a VW badged Chrysler boring-inefficient-people-hauler. And my bet is that they won't.
First the Toyota Jetta, now the Chrysler Minibus.
