Somehow the Scirocco list started talking about four wheel drive and someone said that VW never made a road legal 4x4 (yeah, the syncro was mentioned and dismissed as a toy)

Anyone care to defend the syncro?  Send any replies to me and I will pass them on. (I know it doesn't compare to a Unimog or Pinz, but I'm sure its a lot better than he seems to think)

 I find that extemely hard to believe.  I'd love to see some pics of a
 Vanagon Syncro rock crawling...ha!  When I say off road, I mean serious
 off road, not in the SUV sense (ie, a rough dirt road).  Think of the
 world of 31 inch tires, 5 inches of lift or more, etc.

 I'm sorry, a Vanagon was never designed for the rigors of true offroading.
 Now, if your statement was talking about Unimogs, I'd have to agree...but
 a Vanagon? HEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
