Hello, I'm new the list. Don't own a Vanagon (yet). I'm looking for a Synchro, and I have a few questions: 1. Did the Synchro come only with a 5-speed transmission (no automatics)? 2. Are all double-cab Synchros diesel? 3. Were there any double-cab Synchros sold (new or used) in the U.S.? 4. What's involved in importing a used double-cab Synchro from Canada? Is it possible? I read an article years ago in "VW & Porsche" (now "European Car") about some guy who imported one and put a Porsche 6-cylinder engine in it ( not that I'm interested in doing *that*...) I've visited the <http://www.vanagon.com> site, but I can't find answers to these questions. Thanks, Dave -- Dave Carpenter "Just as great human interfaces can make novices perform like experts, badly designed systems can make intelligent, skilled people look like idiots." -- Peter Bickford |
