Not true - last summer they had a full issue devoted
to transporters.  They discussed a lot of the euro
appearance conversions, a G60, porsche and the
euro-spec conversion.  They even featured a
listmembers yellow synchro once a while back....

There just isn't a whole lot of exciting things going
on in the world of vanagons - we don't tend to mod the
engines and customize the appearance nearly as much as
buggers, etc.  And are vehicles aren't old enough for
one in "Pristine restored" condition to turn anyone's
head except for another Van owner.
