Calling it a "Westy" based on a conversion by a company which is
deliberately named to create confusion doesn't, IMHO, constitute
"stated as being a not westy."

It shouldn't be listed as a "Westy Vanagon," which is universally
understood by VW enthusiasts to mean a Westfalia-Werke GmbH conversion.
Much better if it were hyped as a "Synchro Vanagon coverted by Westy of
Colorado," or in some way made obvious that it isn't what everyone
considers a "Westy" to be.
