Chrysler to build Volkswagen minivan

DETROIT -- Volkswagen AG said Thursday that it will collaborate with DaimlerChrysler AG's Chrysler Groupon a Volkswagen minivan for the North American market that will start production in 2008. VW Chairman Wolfgang Bernhard told German-language reporters at the Los Angeles Auto Show that Chrysler will build the minivans either at a plant in Windsor, Ontario, or a plant near St. Louis.

St. Louis will also get the current Pacifica production as well. Windsor will get a new product to go along with the RT in the future although its not announced yet what it will be...probably after the 2008 model year. Car companies nominate their assembly plants years ahead of when the public hears it.
