Audi Quattro�s pretty much the european answer to the AMC Eagle, a 4wd designed before the "4WD or SUV boom" when it became OK to drive a Jeep.
The big difference between the two cars mentioned above is the same as between a GMC Typhoon and a Chevy Suburban, the Quattro  was built for rallying, became a record holder up on "Pikes Peak " for many years and it�s also a very competent Autobahn racer with a top speed of + 130 mph with the Eagle being more of the family car .
And the things they say - that�s pure jelousy!
Besides PerL I don�t know of any pre - Vanagon owner that has converted, we all prefer space over speed - right - even if I would like some more muscle in the Vanagon....
Maybe an Audi Quattro I5 Turbo engine and transmission, some fat rims and tyres........  
The Quattro would be a great organ donor.... ;-)
