now you're talking... whenever these new announcements come out though, they
never mention "syncro" anywhere, eh?

This is a version of the VW Caravelle currently sold in Europe.  There are
pictures on www.vwvortex.com in the forums section under the
Eurovan/Transporter/Caravelle forum.  I keep saying I want a 150 hp TDI
syncro tiptronic Westfalia.  If VWoA can pony up with
that, they may actually coax me back into a dealership!
