The T4 "Eurovan" is out of production in Germany, though no doubt the
T5 comes with a Caravelle version. My 84 T3 is a Caravelle.

All VW vans (apart from the LT) are officially Transporters; names
like Caravelle or Kombi are grades. In some markets VW marketers for
some strange reason decided not to follow the official normal
names... witness Rabbit, Dasher, Quantum, Vanagon...
