If you look at <http://www.vw.co.za/> you'll find that in SA they have two
different appellations for the bus: Microbus and Caravelle.

The differences are as follows:

with the Caravelle the following come standard:

side step
6 disc CD shuttle
6 speaker radio/tape (removable face plate)(Grundig)
padded leather steering wheel
electrically-operated front windows
rectangular headlights

These don't come standard on the Microbus. The 6 disc CD shuttle and the 6
speaker radio/tape are optional on the Microbus, while the side step, padded
leather steering wheel, electrically-operated front windows are not
available, and the Microbus uses round headlights.

The Caravelle Exclusiv is just under 20,000 more Rand than the Microbus
Exclusiv.

So personally, if I had a square headlight grill (which I do) I wouldn't
switch them to the round SA headlight grill --- I would only consider the
round SA grill if I had round headlights. You can get a peak of this grill
at the web site. <http://www.vw.co.za/>

Does anyone know what they mean by side step??? There just aren't enough
photos on that site.
