.......The vanagon name is an interesting one, anybody with some good insight on how vw came up with it? ......... I've always figured that it was a combination of Van and Wagon, a logical choice considering the market they playing to in 1979-1980 North America. Suburban families still drove 'Station Wagons' to haul the kids around but the new vehicle was shaped more like a van. |
