Bryan - I think you could be very correct on this. Like I said I received
the letter from VWoA that said they had no plans to build another
Vanagon/Bus type vehicle. However, I think that could have been a smoke
screen. Why else would they respond so quickly to the letters we wrote? They
also called and called (although I never spoke to anyone - phone tag). I
think it's very possible - I just hope it's less flash and more utility.
They could really hit a home run if they use the same approach they did with
the New Beetle - that as we all know and have discussed - was a huge
success.

Keeping my fingers crossed.
