I meet and talk to folks who have owned Eurovans but have gone back to the
vanagon.  Why?
Some say the vanagon has more usable room.  Some say they like the way the
vanagon drives and 'feels'.
I have never heard anyone say the vanagon is more reliable than the EV.
That must say a lot for the intangible qualities found in the vanagon.

Other reasons;
The EV was never available as a syncro in North america.  The EV is based on
the passat car platform.  The Vanagon is a light truck.
