13. Volkswagen Routan / Chrysler Town & Country

The Volkswagen Routan marked VW’s entry into the North American minivan market, but it was essentially a Chrysler Town & Country beneath the surface. Built in the same factory, the Routan featured Volkswagen-specific styling cues and a few unique interior touches, yet it shared engines and underpinnings with its Chrysler sibling. This rebadging allowed VW to offer a family-friendly minivan without developing one from scratch. Source
