IIRC, they stopped making them only last year. They call them Caravelles
there. Anyway, US importation is problematic because VW in South Africa later
installed inline 4 and 5 engines which were not officially certified by the EPA
(in the US). I suppose VW of USA did not bring them here because they would have
certainly taken a chunk of VW's Eurovan market. Not that the Eurovan market
was much at that.
