Hi Jay,

I should point out to you and others in the USA that a T4 Syncro has been
available in the European market for some years now.  So yes, you were
correct to say that the rear suspension of the T4 (USA: Eurovan) was
designed with AWD in mind.

I am considering a used Eurovan Syncro as a replacement for my Vanagon.

Best regards,

Tony

'84 Vanagon Reimo

I remember looking at the new Eurovan a few years back (10 yrs. ago?) at
the Philadelphia Car Show.  The rear suspension looked like Vanagon
trailing arms, coil springs, etc.    Wouldn't be too hard to throw a
rear
engine set up in there.  I assumed they left it this way for cost
reasons,
or possibly AWD down the road.

                                                            Jay
