This is yet another van from VW, separate from the "Eurovan" (U.S. name)?

Local VW salesman says that the Eurovan is *not* selling. (I went in to say "hi" to him - he sold us our Vanagon, and he twisted my arm into test driving a Eurovan (sporty model, rear-facing-removable-mid-seats, special paint). It was interesting... strange to hear the motor up front (and it's not particularly quiet). The salesman said that he'd skip the VR6 and go with the work-horse (Audi) 5-cylinder, if it were up to him.

Can we have the Vanagon back? (VW start manufacture again...) Are Vanagon's still being made? Will the dies be shipped to Mexico and Brazil to bring them into the '80s?
