VW used the Chicago Auto Show to unveil their new minivan, the Routan. The van, built with Chrystler in their Windsor, Ontario plant, is set to be released for the 2009 model year. There's a fairly high probability of a diesel Routan. I'd love a TDI Routan, personally.

From the auto show.
2009 VOLKSWAGEN ROUTAN: Volkswagen of America unveiled the Routan, an
all new seven-passenger minivan, during a media event at the '08
Chicago Auto Show. VW says the name Routan is derived from the word
“route” and the suffix “-an.” Also, the vehicle will share
underpinnings with Chrysler minivans and be assembled at Chrysler LLC’s
plant in Windsor, ON, Canada. Check back by Feb 8 for additional
information and images.
