Nope.  The only VW part used on Omni/Horizons was the engine.  There 
where 3 of these beasts in my family unfortuately, and I have to 
admit I even owned on for a short time that I got from my sister. 
The chassis is not like ours, not even close, unless you want to say 
they're similar because they both are made of metal  :)
