It's a shonky rebadged Chrysler Minivan for the US market.

Well spotted, I'd not noticed that.. It is a real model, based on a Dodge minivan or something American.

The side profile was very Chrysler/dodge vanesque

If you find yourself near an American military base, near Harrogate for example, you'll see a lot of cars imported from the USA, some UK registered and some not. Few will be anything special either. They must find it cheaper and preferable to import their cars rather than sell them and buy RHD ones here.

Actually not, my curiosity got the better of me, because where I spend a lot of my time a "routa" is a pile of poo... !!
