        Not really...US and Canadian EV's come with few options.
        see http://www3.vw.com/cars/camper/specs.htm for a full description
        of equipment and options including the EV Camper.

        Interestingly, the Camper specs seem to have been revised somewhat
        and show that the EVC's auto trans has revised gear ratios in second
        and fourth AND a higher final drive ratio than the EV (4.91 vs 3.68).
