Volkswagen minivan was introduced in 1960 because it was durable and cheap to run. Many Americans loved this type of vehicle. Volkswagen Mini van was invented in 1950 or some 33 years before Chrysler Corporation introduced its first minivan and took credit for creating this type of vehicle. Volkswagen started selling minivans in America in 1950. The first model was called the transporter. The Euro van is a far cry from the 1960s models, which were roomy but had sorely underpowered engines and really skinny tires. As with the 1960s, the transporter used reliable Volkswagen Beetle auto components such as a rear mounted air cooled engine and four-speed manual transmission. Early 1950s transporter had bright two-tone colors and hauled up to nine persons in its brick-shaped body. It only had 30-horsepower engine. During early 1950, American cars werent fast, and many publications recognized the practicality of the strange new Volkswagen. Volkswagen steadily improved its minivan.

When the Kia Soul goes on sale this Spring, there is one thing it won’t come with: sticker shock!
One of the most well received debuts of
the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show was the Kia Soul, a hip, youthful and
stylish vehicle that defies easy description. Sure, comparisons to
various competing models including Scion are expected, but the Kia
Soul manages to distinguish itself from all comers simply for the
reason it is radically different from any car ever made by the Korean
automaker.
