Lotta small errors or 'not quite rights' in the Wiki  article.
They say the 1.6NA diesel was only available in the US  models in 1982, and
that's not true. They most definitely were available in 83.
They say 'four wheel drive' right below that for the Syncro, when 'all wheel
drive' would be the correct term, 'these days."
Some Syncro's have '4WD' in bold letters right on the nose, but in more
modern terms there is a distinction between 4WD and AWD, and Syncro's have
AWD, and they should be kept that way, btw, for several reasons.

As a Vanagon newbie, I found this page is a good background read:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Type_2_%28T3%29

Any glaring inaccuracies there?
