Just because the Autobild boys ruined the surprise of the 2009 Volkswagen Routan yesterday, doesn't mean we can't have fun with the live reveal today. The Town & Country turned Routan has certainly been outfitted for the US market. Featuring things Germans don't care about like 13 cupholders, and a conversation mirror, something tells us Chrysler's first attempt as a tier one supplier VW's first modern minivan will sell well in the highly competitive minivan market. It was good to see some of the remarkable seating features made it in like power stow und gehen seating in the back. We're using our pointy elbows to get some more pics and we'll get em to you as soon as we can.
