Dear Westfalian,
I did it!  I drove to the US last weekend and road tested the new Sprinter
based Westfalia.  (The new Sprinter Westfalia is not sold in Canada )  I
love my Volkwagen Westy but I could not resist to go see a new Sprinter
Westy.  It is a fantastic van that I could not afford before but the price
are going down and the Canadian $$ going up.  Sprinter Westy are also not
selling well in the US.  I talked to the dealer and he told me that for the
price, csutomers are buying the full size RVs.
I know this forum if for older Westy but I need help from Canadian that may
be looking at the Sprinter Westy.  Airstream, the exclusive dealer for the
new Westfalia, did not list the Westfalia with Tranport Canada as an
Admissible vehicule for import making the purchase in the US impossible for
us
I am in communciation with Airstream but in order to convice them that
Canada is a land of mosquitos and Westy, I woudl like to know 1.Has anyone
improted or tired to import this van to Canada and 2.  Are interested in
importing a Sprinter?  Send me an email.  Maybe if we can joint force and
convice Airstrean or Westfalia Germany to sell in Canada.
Thanks again.
Joel
Note : I will always be a Westy lover but she is so pretty that my heart
could not resist....
