Today I saw a few VW van products in Vancouver:

About ten blocks from my house, a grey Eurovan, no side windows. A few blocks up Hastings St., a maroon doka I've seen around once before. Turn right on Nanaimo, drive for a couple minutes, a Eurovan Westy. Nine more blocks, cruise into the alley looking for a parking place, there's a grey seven passenger GL. After breakfast, head back to the hood, take a slightly different route than normal. Oh look, a tan seven passenger I've never seen before. Few more blocks, there's that Westy Bus that's often parked there. Drop off A., head to work. Charles Street's good this time of day, maybe that single cab will be parked there. Yup. After work, head back to pick up A., there's that bus again, oh look, the brown Syncro is home now.

So 2 Eurovans, 1 Doka, 1 Singlecab, 2 Seven Passengers, 1 Bus, and a Syncro. Eight - in an hours worth of driving. (I won't bother to include the Syncro, Transporter, and Westy that live on my block).

I say Vancouver is lousy with Vanagons :)
