Subject: VW writeup in Newsweek...and about the next vw van for the US

in this week's (Oct. 31st 2005 ) Newsweek magazine, there is a big writeup on
page E8 about VW's new head honcho, Wolfgang Bernhard... and what he plans to
do to get VW out of a slump in the US.

here is some of the article:

"Bernhard recently told US dealers about four new US models.. a small SUV, a
new convertible based on the Jetta coupe, a large sedan, and the re-launch of
the classic Bus..  Bernhard says the new minivan will *not* have the retro
look of the New Beetle. He cut a deal, not yet final, with his old buddies at
Chrysler to build the 7 seater Minivan in the US at a Chrysler plant and reveals
that this could become a "mutual thing" with VW also building cars for
Chrysler."

so we get a new "VW" minivan made by chrysler?

such hypocracy..
