I don't know about the '86. But the '87 an up have silver fiberglass bumpers that wrap around the body. The '87, like mine, does not have body paneling between the front and rear wheels. The mirrors are also body colored. Also on '87 and up the interior was extremely different. There are two rear facing jump seats that easily remove, literaly less than 1 min. each. There is also a table that folds up from the side of the van. The interior panels are also plastic and more rugged than the velour ones. The seating arrangement is what, in my opinion, makes the wolfsburg a more desireable packege. It also looks a little sportier on the outside because of the bumpers, and also the allow wheels are standard with 205 tires. The suspension is also 1 or 1.5" lower, which makes it handle a *little* better. I have had both, and will say that there is a huge differance between the two vans. It is like night and day. As far as the round headlight vans there is not such a differance. Hope this helps.
