When I was in Berlin about two years ago, I have seen a Bugatti in the VW
show building on the main street.  Also they had a Bentley by them.  The guy
who was the salesman for the Bugatti was telling that before you can take
the car away from the shop you have to complete a driving school for it.
The speed and the horsepower is way too much to handle for average guys.  It
should have wings too.
I have seen the Eurovan there too with the camper outfit.  Same as the one
they sell here.
VW also owns Skoda, and the Spanish Fiat factories.  The new Skoda and the
Spanish cars are really nice.  There are not as many Japanese cars in Europe
as they are here.
When I mentioned the Vanagon they remembered it.
