forgive my ignorance

Just getting really excited about the Caddy Maxi and then I see pics of the Touran.. Good God the more I look the more confused I get. Whats the difference? The Touran looks like a dressed up Caddy afterall front parts are interchangeable.....? Arent they??

And what does VAG stand for? I saw a thread elsewhere asking how many vags folk belonged too.

We don't get the touran here, neither do America.
It is more like a VW version of the honda Oddysee.
I don't think the front end is interchangeable.


VAG = a former name for the Volkswagen Group, a German automaker, used from 1978 to 1992

From the wiki here: Volkswagen Group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


From the late 1970s to 1992, the acronym V.A.G was used by Volkswagen AG for group-wide activities, such as distribution and leasing. Whilst there was no official meaning given for the V.A.G acronym, it was ascribed different meanings in different locations - in Germany Volkswagen Audi Gesellschaft was assumed, whilst in the United Kingdom, Volkswagen Audi Group was used on official communications.

On 4 July 1985, the company name was changed again - to Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft (usually abbreviated to Volkswagen AG), to reflect the company's increasing global diversification from its headquarters and main plant, the Volkswagenwerk in Wolfsburg.

Better not wonder too hard about the Skoda Roomster then either....not a mechanical world away from the Caddy either (unlike the Touran). Same goes for the forthcoming Skoda Yeti too.

The front bumper and headlights are interchangeable from the Touran to the Caddy. Its a common mod in Europe to fit the nicer Touran bumper with the darkened headlights
