Whispers of a naming crisis at Volkswagen are doing the rounds. Apparently all the decent range names have gone so they’ve asked Des O’Connor and Carol Vorderman of Channel 4’s Countdown to help them come up with new ones based on anagrams of existing VW cars.
Hence the Routan (from Touran) which has just been launched at the Chicago Show.
Watch out for the forthcoming VW Flog and Loop. I think it’s an outrage….or is that a Touareg?
Routan!? Maybe they ‘Ran out’ of ideas?
