Volkswagen Routan
Volkswagen is offering up its minivan with virtually no changes compared to 2011. Built on the same base as the Dodge Grand Caravan and the Chysler Town & Country, the Routan is available in three trims. Only one engine is on the menu, however, a 3.6L V6 that delivers 283 hp and 260 lbs.-ft. of torque. It only gets one transmission too, a 6-speed automatic
