The name "Vanagon" for the T3 Transporter was used only in the US & Canada. Likewise "Eurovan" for the T4 Transporter. The latter was sold as "Vanagon" in Japan, and is just as validly a "Vanagon".

It's called badge-engineering. -- Andrew Grebneff Dunedin New Zealand Fossil preparator <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut
