But that would be cheaper than a new Rialta and I think easier to drive
& use. Yes, a new quality Westy (Mercedes or VW) would be expensive when
compared with a 20+ year old VW design (but as I recall the list price
on my new 1983 wasserboxer Westy was something like $18-20K and
inflation has been crankin' since then...)

Anyway, we can dream a bit, yes?
