These were condfirmed to dealers during a broadcast on the VW MAX channel by VWoA' vice president. He also mentioned "new techologies" for 2008. whatever that means- Jetta TDI ( sedan and wagon) March 2008 - Tiguan 2.0T and TDI (july 2008) - VW minivan (summer 2008) - Passat coupe ( fall 2008) - Touareg 2 3.0 V6 TDi ( fall 2008)

Nice, VW will definitely sell more cars in 2008. But not sure how much (if any) profit it will make in 08.

yeah, the 337 was a 2002. The 20th AE was a 2003. I'd hope we get the 25th in 2008. Lord knows the Fahrenheit was a lousy successor to the 337.

Not in the US. But I saw Chrysler minivans in Europe that had "Turbo Diesel" badges on them. (Which does not mean that the VW version will have a diesel engine.) What's the point of a Passat coupe? Big 2-door cars still don't have much room inside, and the big doors are just that much more hassle in tight parking spaces.

Is that like Jesus Chrystler? Anyway, from what I have heard the VW van uses the Chrysler's platform architecture and a few basic suspension components, however the engines, transmissions, and - most importantly to the dash strokers - it's own unique interior with mostly VW parts. Can any Vortex staff members comment?

VW is designing the sheet metal and interior... to fit into the Chrysler mold. It will look different, but mechanically will be identical to the Chrysler minivans.

where'd this come from? lol coupe means 2-door, though its original intention was more based on body style. it will most likely have identical mechanicals to the current passat.
