A Van Named After a Cigar?
Filed in archive VW by Jeff Bressler on February 06, 2008

What is it with Volkswagen? Or more precisely what is it with the Naming Department or whatever you call the area responsible for giving monikers to vehicles?
The Routan? Isn't that the name of a cigar or something?
The Routan is part of VW's new strategy to grow sales in the U.S. The company's goal? Some 800,000 sales a year by the year 2018.
Wait a minute, Routan, Touran. The Touran stands for the combination of "touring" and "sedan". What actually does Routan stand for?
