A while back I wrote to VW asking them about the possibility of re-introducing Westfalia vans in the US market. Here is the response that I just received.

I wonder if there is a way to convince VW that there still is a decent demnad for Westfalias in US. --Asghar Bhatti >From: devw1kdb@ibmmail.com >Date: Tue, 09 Jul 1996 08:56:57 EDT >To: mabhatti@uiowa.edu >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Subject: I would like > > >--- Erhalten von V.KDHILFE/LAURIOLA +49-5361-926* 09.07.96 14.55 > > -> IBMMAIL.INTERNET IBM MAIL EXCHANGE ADRESSE > >Dear Sir, > >Thank you for your e-mail.
