Austin - These "Golf Syncro" creatures were sold in Germany a few years back. I think I have a German brochure somewhere for a "Golf Country" or some similar name. They were supposed to be mechanical lemons and most Germans I talked to at the time said they were very hastily designed and built with little or no research & design effort and it showed. If you are really interested in learning more I could try to find the brochure and send along either a fax or type in some of the pertinent info. Respond off Vanagon Mailing List to save bandwidth.
