Official photographs of the 2009 Volkswagen Routan have been released. With only days before the Chicago Autoshow, Volkswagen has made available a first look at the 2009 Routan mini-van it expects to launch in September. "A car for all routes and reasons" the Routan's name is mixture of the english word "route" and attaches Volkwagen's signature "an" prefix to denote the line-up of mini-van offerings as in the german Touran and Sharan models. Volkswagen expects this unique offering to sell 40,000 unit in its peak year and touts it as the "only European alternative" for minivans in the US market. With unique features such as imposed seven-passenger seating and touch-screen navigation, the Routan will round out our line-up her at Eich Motor Company. For several years customers have sought after a vehicle that can house the entire family and the Routan promises to fill that void. After the decision not to import the increasingly hard-to-find EuroVan, loyal VW enthusiasts will be able to return to their roots and brand-of-choice with this newest addition.
With a base price of around $25,000, the Routan will offer a great starting price for this, what is sure to be, a premium European alternative to other makes and models.
