like every time I drive by the local VW dealer here in KCMO they have a

each other to keep up appearances? A conspiracy?
And where can one find the sales figures? I still want to know how many 89
syncros there are on the road these days.

He was trying to make a point.  He pulled those numbers out of thin air, or
out of his air-head anyway.  I have the sales figures around here somewhere,
but this is what I remember them as:

EuroVans sales for 1993 were around 2500, which is not impressive.

1999 brought another 2,500, 2000 was about 5,000 and I don't have sales
figures for 2001-2002, but expect them to be upwards of 10,000 this year.

In addition, Winnebago converts over 1200 units each year.
