I like the looks of it, but whats up with no VW drivetrains, and no VW specific interior? This needs to be ironed out toot sweet. And what the hell is Routan? Like Susan Ruttan?

Or like Burt Rutan or Dick Rutan I think it doesn't mean anything, made up to sound like their other models--Tiguan, Sharan, Touran.

Very clean, and in-offensive, VW should style all of Chrysler's products.

Maybe Chrysler can hook up with VW.... DCX didn't work, maybe they need to try another German partner..

The dash shell's textured plastic yields slightly to the touch (considerably softer than that of the Chryslers), overlaid with a dark gray soft pad.

Mmmm....squishy plastics. One thing I wish more makers would do is not just use soft plastics on the dash top, but on the door panels, center console and lower dash...I hate the rock-hard cheap plastics in those areas in so many vehicles today..

It looks quite handsome in dark colors and the interior is worlds better. I like the soft padded armrests with stitching on them...very upscale.

VW: Building a better Caravan, ya.

Dear Chrysler: take a lesson or 3 from VW in building nice interiors. Apply. Repeat.

again with the stupid stupid stupid gear shift location.

Hey Chrysler, you brought the Hemi back from the dead. Reach back into your history and bring back pushbutton transmissions for your mini-vans!

With Chrysler's sketchy electronics, not a good idea!

those pics look nice. the interior is more desirable. the back end looks nicer. ah, but does it have flash to pass???????

this thing will remain on the radar for me. at 25k though in a VW, i can bet that is way stripped.

the quest was semi fun to drive. if this thing handles better and has more go juice, and is reasonably priced, it may end up in my garage.
