VW's thinking of putting a different engine in the Eurovan? The Eurovan is the new Vanagon. Just like the Golf is effectively the new Beetle. The Jetta is the new Super Beetle. Why would VW bring back an obsolete vehicle? Do you think Ford is going to make more Model Ts just because people liked them? Sorry folks but they have made a Vanagon with improved torque and all. Its called the Eurovan in this country. It inherited the Transporter name from the T3 Transporter in the rest of the world. VW's American organization is too dumb to know how to sell it maybe... bill and diane killian zen and the art of ferrets
