Eurovan is no longer shipping to the US. Total bummer, if you ask me. If we were in the market for a van, we'd be all over a Weekender.
T4=eurovan right? If so the how come a grand total of 3 were sold this month in NA?
The Eurovan has it's own quirky old school appeal, but it's definately outdated and outclassed by other minivans.

Too bad they cancelled the production version of the ultra cool Micro Bus. That would've been their next hot model since the new Beetle. I'm sure they could sell it for what ever it's worth -- I'd pay $30,000+ for a cool minivan.
Man.....they cancelled that? That's a bummer. We were thinking of replacing our Dodge Caravan with that. :???:
That Micro Bus design was something quite special...Too bad VW doesn't have the balls to release it.



:mad:

Outdated, but hardly outclassed!
I don't know, my boss has one, and while its nice, I would say its easily out classed by the current minivans on the market.

If you a die hard VW nut, than enjoy, but open your eyes to whats available.

i remember talking to the guy who drove the eurovan courtesy shuttle (which had 88k on it), it was on it's third transmission
It wasn't much of a looker either. Probably the ugliest car in VW's lineup.
Eurovan Camper is a very appealing road-trip vehicle. 8) :lol:
