VW could go with a haldex specific rear subframe. They won't be using their engines if it's anything like the Routan/Caravan. They re-tuned the suspension, slapped on a VW front end and made the interior better but the running gear is all Chrysler.<br /><br />If VW can keep the cost down I'd be interested in a few years.burnitwithfirenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-9379767708682841592010-05-28T07:49:35.546-07:002010-05-28T07:49:35.546-07:00That's an interesting point.
