From http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/vw-camping/
Shocking news. Just got through on the phone
to VW of North America.
This is what they said,
VW of North America does NOT plan to continue
selling full-size vans or camper vans
in the U.S. and Canada after 2003.
The new T5 VW van (which is available in Europe)
will not be marketed in North America.
There will be no more campers available after
2003 or current supplies of the EVC sell out.
There are no plans to sell them at a
future date either.
On another note,
About the so-called Microbus, it's a
compact van, more like a mini-van type.
VW might sell this vehicle someday in the
future in North America, but it's still on the
drawing board, time frame unknown.
That's the official VW party line.
Harald
