Volks,
I am in the midst of getting my fourth Eurovan, a Double-Cab, which was a Canada only model.
This is a replacement for the 93 Eurovan Westfalia camper, which was also a Canada only model.
It's amazing how well the Westfalias and the Double-Cabs hold there value.
But after owning two Eurovan Westfalia Campers, I can tell you they are worth every Canadian cent.
What a leap forward they are compared to my old 86 Westy.
I have also found that they age far more gracefully than any of my many Vanagons ever have.
Now I just have to get the 150 HP TDI engine and the Syncro drivetrain!
But it's allot easier to make a Eurovan into a Syncro then it is a Vanagon!
Cheers
Glen

The T5 looks nice - especially with the white body and black wheels - looks
like it means business! To bad they are going to be so expensive here.... I
think it will be a used T4 for me in the next little while.

Hello,
on the Web I found a picture which could show the new T5. It is planned to
be introduced on the market end of next year.

If you will take a close look you will find the body of the Eurovan, but the
engine compartment is different. Wheelbase and trackwidth seems also to be
different.
The other picture is more or less a computer generated:

But check yourself.
