 Yes the 2011 VW Routan is a borrowed body and design concept from the Dodge Caravan but it's overloaded with German engineering and that's exactly what I needed and wanted for my family. My four children and my Mother are seated comfortably on every trip, there's lots of room for our items and activities and I wouldn't want to drive anything else except for the Amarok but unfortunately those aren't sold here in the U.S.  We also enjoy our 2003 VW Beetle TDI (Diesel).  My child plan on driving their own VWs when they become of age. YAY!
