Subject: Interior Configurations?


Hi, this is the girl half of Milo's kitchen.  Love reading the list, and
have a question.

I've been driving an '87 Syncro for over 8 years (previous VW Bussies: 3
breadloaves from 70's & 80's and 3 vanagons).  We've never had a Westy, but
one of the 70's busses had the bed, table and rear facing seat.  Loved
camping in it until we had children, then, for me at least, camping became
very UN-fun.  Anyway, I'm getting off the subject.

As I said, my primary vehicle for the last 8 years has been an 87 Syncro. It
has been expressing, in no uncertain terms, it's desire to take a turn in
the garage for some serious attention. We needed another vehicle for me to
drive while it is down and I was beginning to panic to think that I would
forced to drive an Explorer or something...Enter a much misunderstood 1991
plain Jane vanagon.  It had been calling to me from the weeds along the side
of the road all summer & fall, and we were able to get its owners to part
with it for $2500.  My wunderhubby had it going in two days.  Again, I'm
straying from the point.

Is there such a thing as a Syncro with the "carat" style interior.  Now that
I have the rear facing seats instead of the big twin seat in the middle, I
want the best of both worlds.  My go in the snow Syncro, and an interior
that is wonderful with kids in tow. (Lots of move around room for getting
into car seats while Mom's with their $$$ SUVs are getting their behinds wet
in the sleet putting their kids in the $$$ SUV).  I'm with Stan!

Just wondering.
