Were there South African Syncro's? Does it snow in SA? That could explain the round headlights, or it could be an 'aftermarket' grill.

Purely guesses.

Hi Matt & other listees,

I was going to post this anyway but I just purchased the latest issue
of Automobile Magazine with a great spread and pictures of the the
proposed Microbus.  There are additional pictures at this site under
the Detroit Auto Show.

On one of the pictures in the magazine (not the web site) it shows
the evolution from the Splitty, Bay, Vanagon, Eurovan and this new
bus. One of the the picture - the Vanagon (of course) is in the
forest on a snowy road. It is a Syncro, but it has round headlights,
vintage of the 80-85.  I though that all US Syncros came with the
square headlights from 86 to 91+.  Interesting.....  Maybe I'm off in
my thinking?

Another site came up this week with futuristic pictures:
