Volks,

Tired of reading bad reviews of the Type2 T4s?  Then pick up the January 18,
1999 issue of Autoweek.  Steve Thompson writes an extremely pro EV review.
I'm awaiting Autoweeks permission to post the entire article, but until I
receive it, here's a teaser.

"Jekyll-and-Hyde vans"
<snip>
"Many full-size vans allow the Jekyll-and-Hyde reconfiguration of a kid hauler
into a weekend warrior's moto-hauler.  But in my experience, the only smaller
van in the market today that can pull it off easily is the Eurovan, which VW
tried to sell here a half-dozen years ago in its current, front-wheel-drive
configuration as a "midsize" van rather than a minivan."

Steve goes on to extoll the virtues of larger than s---box smaller than full
size.  Well worth a read and as soon as I receive permission, I'll post the
entire text.  (Gotta fax a copy of the article to them with an explanation of
EXACTLY what I want to do with it...)
