Subject:Goodbye Eurovan Detroit Auto Show
From:Morrell, Edward

Can't say officially, but talking to a factory rep yesterday at the VW
display at the Detroit Auto Show, was told the Eurovan is DONE in the U.S.
Apparently March is the last production date for any vehicle headed for the
U.S. market.  They will continue to be produced for other markets, however,
per the rep.  There was no gray around the comments- quite matter of fact.

They had one Eurovan on display, however it was on the lower level, subject
to less overall traffic.  The van was getting lots of looks and positive
comments from show goers, but that doesn't mean they will be buyers, of
course.  My guess is the marketing push VW did in the fall with TV
commercials and magazine ads trying to recast the Eurovan as the BIG van
just did not gain any traction.  However, that is only my guess.

Now the conundrum;  Buy or not to buy?
