A dealer here told me > the US/Canadian models have a longer wheelbase and are quite different? Take a look at http://www.vwn.de/uk/index1.html to see the current models available in Germany. I guess the rental cars will look similar. As for the mechanical side, mostly the vans will be equipped with either the 2,5 gas engine also known in the US/Canada, but the 2,4D and 2,5TDI are popular engines, too. The 2,4D is not exactly a racer, but will keep up with European traffic. PerL 87 Syncro 112i |
