Got this little snippet from by brother... Mr.. bug... seems to confirm what we are hearing. >I was just at the dealer Saturday sitting in a brand new NEW BEETLE. Unfortunately I will have to wait until April to get mine because the TDI will not be available until then. BTW the car is really neat up close and in person and quickly drew a crowd. As far as the Eurovan is concerned, I also heard that it would reenter the US market in early 98. Dont have any specs on an engine or anything but I would bet that the VR6 or the maybe the Audi V5 would be the only engines big enough to push the thing around. I have heard the talk about the V6 TDI that is already in the works. Is supposed to appear in the 99 or2000 Passat. Rumor has it that it puts out about 150 hp!!!!!!! > BTW, he lives in the Dallas/Fort Worth Texas area.
