Hi,

to get to the crafter on the vw page you have to click on "Nutzfahrzeuge"
(=commercial vehicles)

or directly go to http://www.vw-nutzfahrzeuge.de/crafter/crafter.html

the crafter is replacing the LT and seems to be identical with the new
mercedes sprinter 2007.
Westfalia brought a new version of the Sprinter as a camper,  and we will
see if airstream imports them again to the U.S.
Exciting thing is that the new sprinter westfalia comes in two sizes, one of
them not having the huge roof that some of you disliked.
All these vehicles can be converted to 4WD by companies like Iglhaut, with a
full set of offroad gears and locking diffs.
There is also rumour that sportsmobile in the u.s. is developing a pop-top
for the new sprinter......
