Default vans are not all ugly

hey now guys lets not hate on the vans, they're not all so bad, ive got a 2004 nissan quest and love it its silver on the outside with a red leather interior and its loaded with every option, its served us pretty well for the past 5 years, personally not a fan of the vw line of vans, but trust me the quest is a very different van, we still get compliments on it, its different especially with the red leather and skyview roof heres a pic or 3 lol, /endthreadjack

Touran is what the "VW van" for America should have been, though I suppose the Tiguan makes it a bit redundant. Either way, even though it's much smaller than the T&C/Routan, I would be much more inclined to buy one. It's an actual VW, unlike that "van".

Happy_es3, the Quest sure was a cool van. The VW/Nissan dealership I use have a few as shuttles, though they are replacing them with Routans ...It was a a cool van though, and you are right, the skyview panels are very cool.

Whatever the case with the Touran, the Tiguan R-Line is much more attractive...





Of course, my favorite R-Line "SUV" has to be the Touareg R50





The sexiest part...

That is a nice looking mini van. I don't like the looks of the current mini van based on the Chrysler.

The Tiguan isn't a van though. It's basically a jacked up Rabbit.

The Touran is a lengthened MKV Golf (Rabbit), same platform as Tiguan.

Once again, a silly, image-based, inaccurate view. Minivans are often the ideal vehicles for many families, and people who laugh or scorn at that are just expressing ignorance.

(I'm not necesarily saying you're ignorant, Och........I know that you were just passing that phrase on, and didn't coin it yourself)

At first, I thought the Tiguan might (?) share a platform with the Audi Q5, but when I reviewed the Q5, I saw that the Audi was a significantly larger vehicle.
