I wonder if BS will chime in. I can't believe that VW would approve this ad footage. They get the most washed out landscape they can find and then put a bland grey minivan in front of it? What were they thinking? You'd think it'd be a nice burgundy or rich wine colour or nice deep blue to give it contrast. All it screams now is "Look! Here's a nice bland minivan. No excitement. No fun. No interest. Buy now!" Yeah, right.
I'll take a T5 Multivan with the 84-hp TDI (32 mpg ?), manual tranny please. If only because I can't afford this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxr0cbvyRdY
The interior shots remind me of the "V-Ger" scenes from the first Star Trek movie. The white buildings and sterility of the outdoor shots are interesting - in a Leni Riefenstahl kind of way. I'd buy one if they made it a two-door, with the sliding doors for the driver and passenger.
Love the Routan. Great family comfort with outstanding handling. VW cost free service has been an added benny. My wife can run a load of kids around in style. I like the giddy up of the 4.0 V6 and the highway mpg is 25. After we took a test drive we knew it was better than the competition and J D Powers ranked it #1.
