Someone in Germany told me he'd seen one (yes, transverse engine).  I
wondered about positioning it so that the trans was rotating the same
way while being in the correct position to align the driveshafts. To
do so would necessitate positioning the engine/trans in the normal
right-is-right left-is-left position it sat in in the Golf. But would
the diff center then not be well behind the van's rear hubs?
