The Volkswagen minivan is returning to America.

The new minivan is going to look like a Volkswagen and the horn will sound like a Volkswagen but under all the sheet metal the VW minivan will be a Chrysler.

VW's most important contribution to the new minivan will be design and styling. The company will not be involved in the engineering design other than to have some limited input in the characteristics VW is looking for.

VW has promised that the new minivan isn't just going to be a Chrysler minivan with a Volkswagen badge on it.

Chrysler will build the minivan for VW for the U.S. market starting with the 2008 model year.
