Gotta love this quote:

"Since we mentioned the Rabbit engine, you may recall that it made a brief
appearance as the Vanagon diesel power plant. But that engine has been
discontinued in the U.S. because of a changing market that has lost its
infatuation with the diesel."

Oh how times have changed!  :)
