Yes, and still is on the "Eurovan". The Transporter is the working
vehicle (vans, pickups, chassis), the Caravelle is the passenger carrier
(wagon, bus), and the Multivan is - um well - the Multivan. The campers
are called California for some reason.

There are some late T3 Westys (89-91) that have the Vanagon badge, but
is still not a US spec vehicle. Oh, my Syncro has the Vanagon badge too,
but that is just to be different :-)
