Standard Transmission 6 Speed Automatic

Horsepower @ RPM 197@5200

The Routan is Volkswagen’s all-new 7-passenger front-engine, front-wheel drive minivan. Based on the same platform as the Chrysler Town & Country and the Dodge Grand Caravan, the Routan will be built in the same plant in Windsor, Ontario Canada. Nearly as iconic as the Volkswagen Beetle, the Volkswagen Microbus and the subsequent Vanagon offered families and others with needs for a spacious vehicle a unique option in the market. While the Microbus and the Vanagon appealed to a small group of buyers, Volkswagen partnered with Chrysler to enter the mainstream of the family vehicle market with the Routan. The front grille and exterior design identify the Routan as a Volkswagen and the interior styling and materials have been carefully chosen to deliver what the German brand describes as European sensibilities in design, fit and finish. All-season traction control and an Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP) are standard, and Volkswagen promises European-tuned suspension with the steering optimized for handling and driving dynamics. Tailored specifically for the U.S. market, Routan offers high-demand features such as triple-zone climate control, first- and second-row heated seats, and iPod and USB connectivity.


The 2009 Volkswagen Routan is Volkswagen’s first mainstream minivan, built in partnership with Chrysler and powered by the same engines as the Chrysler Town & Country. The standard engine is a 3.8-liter V6 that produces 197 horsepower and 230 lb-ft of torque combined with a 6-speed automatic transmission that is rated at 16/23 mpg city/hwy. The available 253-horsepower 4.0-liter V6 engine produces 262 lb-ft of torque and delivers 17/25 mpg city/hwy with the 6-speed automatic. Routan features front and side curtain airbags, Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP), available touch-screen navigation with 30 GB JoyBox Multi-Media Entertainment system, available heated front and second-row captain’s chairs, remote keyless entry with available remote start and power-fold third row seat.

Chrysler Crossfire

Technical Specs
Standard Engine 3.2L V6
Standard Transmission 6 Speed Manual
Cylinders 6
Horsepower @ RPM 215@5700
Torque @ RPM 229@3000 (foot-lbs)

The Crossfire is Chrysler’s two-seat sports coupe and roadster that is produced in Germany in conjunction with longtime DaimlerChrysler partner Karmann. The Crossfire is one of the vehicle that has earned the Chrysler Group a reputation for taking concept cars and turning them into production vehicles with very little of the original concept lost in the process
Occupants sit low in the car, which has a bright, upscale, retro-style sporty interior. The bucket seats are very supportive, gauges can be quickly read and controls work precisely. The cockpit is roomy despite an oversized center console that holds an awkwardly designed cupholder. Curiously, it's the only cupholder in the car.

Scion xD


The xD is Scion’s subcompact hatchback that debuted at the 2007 Chicago Auto Show and replaced the xA in the Scion lineup for 2008. Sharing the same platform with the Toyota Yaris, the xD is a five-door hatchback just like the xA but offers a more aggressive look and more power. The xD has nearly the same length and height as the xA but it is about an inch wider and 3.6-inch longer wheelbase. Highlighted by a wide stance, thick muscular body, accentuated wheel flares and large tires, the xD has a short and wide frame that is designed to give it better handling and comfort.
