Hi,
I happened to be in Mexico City last week and MAN! VW owns this town.
 About 50% of the vehicles were VWs of some sort.  Most were the
"old" beetles in green and white without the passenger seat acting as
taxi cabs.  I say old to differentiate from "The New Beetle".  VW
still makes the old style Beetles here also the the bay window
busses.  They may make some Eurovans too... don't know?

I did see a lot of bay-window vans used in all sorts of purposes.
They have a fiberglass roof slightly higher than stock.  They also
have a big radiator in front most likely for the A/C cooling because
they still run the old air cooled motor. I saw a few bay-Westies and
lots of Eurovans but no Wedge/Vanagons. No Syncros either in town
anyway.

What a busy town.  The worst NY or LA traffic jam has nothing on this
town.  It took us over 1 hour to do about 5 miles on the Periferico
in polluted bumper-to-bumper traffic.

It was cool seeing all the snow capped volcanoes around the city,
whenever the smog and clouds did not hide them.

Unlike Europe, I did not see many Diesel vehicles which would help
reduce the polution levels.  Gas was not much cheaper here than in
the US and they have lots of service attendants do it all for you at
the Pemex station.

Happy Summer
