Well, "fail" is relative. I don't think the plan is to outsell Chrysler, but I think
that there may be enough of a market for people who prefer German vehicles, but need a minivan, and have had no choice but either American or Japanese, like, the Hyundai Entourage for example.
Bruno? Comment?

LOL, only VW would introduce a minivan in 2008
When the rest of the world has migrated to crossover vehicles to target that segment.
Chalk it up there with the Phaeton and Passat W12 flops.

Bah...most crossovers are completely useless. Besides, the migration has been mostly from
big SUV to x-over, not minivan to crossover. You can't fit 3 children that require car seats into most SUV's or most x-overs...you need a minivan....ask Bruno why he didn't choose a 3-row SUV or X-over over a mini-van.
