"The European and Australia/New Zealand are getting these vehicles for the simple reason that they buy them." I think one resason for the demise of the Vanagon in the USA is the terrible support from VW dealers. When I first got my Vanagon, I mistakenly thought the VW dealer would be my friend. Well I've had more than one VW dealer refuse to perform required recall services on my van. One even said the van would not fit on his vehicle lift! It seems that even to the US VW dealer, the Vanagon is regarded as an oddity to be shunned. -David ('87 Wolfsburg)
