        Toured a few VW dealers here in the Bay Area to see the
        '99 EVs and picked up the EuroVan brochure. VW just seems to
        screw up anything to do with vans... Caption under picture of
        GLS interior plainly showing the 2 person middle row bench plus the
        3 person rear bench says " The GLS comfortably transports eight well
        equipped adults." !! EIGHT? *8*? NO WAY!! There are only seats for
        SEVEN in the GLS and MVs that I saw...

        Astounding that VW has the chutzpah to list these vehicles for ~$30K!
        The salesdude at one dealership tried to explain away the ~10K
        difference between a 93 and a 99 by claiming that it's due to
        "inflation"...

        BTW: for owners of the 92-95 EVs with the AC dryer/receiver canister
             in the RT front wheelwell...it's somewhere else in the VR6 EVs.
