Notice also the "Japanaese" model is left hand drive ( the same as you guys in North America, but the Japanese drive on the opposite side, ie their vehicles are normally right hand drive), so my guess would be it is exactly what is sold in the European market.

  which is a Japanese model, but similar to the Canadian one.  Nice layout - my
  inlaws have a '95.

  Notice that the Japanese model is a short wheelbase model, and it looks even roomier inside than the Winnebago? 

  Although the Winnebago version is ok, I wonder why VW would not simply import the Westy version of the Eurovan? Maybe it's an attempt to "Americanize" the thing for better sales...

  Although the weekender MV is made by Westfalia, is it not? And the dealers around here say that they are the best selling model... hands down.
