FYI there's a preview of the 2000 Passat GLX 4Motion in this months Car and Driver, p. 130, that mentions the Vanagon Syncro. Sub title: "After a 12-year hiatus, VW revives the option of all-wheel drive for its premium North American sedan and wagon." From text: "That's right. A dozen summers have fluttered by since Volkswagen last offered an all-wheel-drive option in any segment of the new-car market. Okay, a really determined VW-phile could get all-wheel derive in the old Vanagon, a vehicle that made even glaciers look speedy, but few did, and that option disappeared at the end of 1991..." BTW my Bilsteins came today (for 2WD Vanagon), I'll be installing them after work tonight, will post when project is complete. dave www.251.org |
