Remember to keep in mind the difference between VW and VW of America. VW of A decides what they sell here and what they spend on advertising.

I sent a e-mail to a VW dealer in Austrailia complaining about the non-existant VW vans we have here. He said that VW has always had a strong "commercial" vehical market in Austrailia. VW of A has apparently written off the US for their commercial/van vehicals.

VW builds an incredable array of vans and commercial cars. We have not seen them here for decades.
