Brasilian Microbus. The Bay being nothing more than a modified Split, VW
obviously thought it was cheaper to add Bay bits to the Split than transfer
all of its tooling from Hanover to Sao Paulo.

Why the Microbus door arrangement... well, they plainly decided that it
would be a dedicated passenger vehicle. The Brasilian Split Microbus was the
same, if I remember rightly.

Yes, Brasilian with an S. Ask any Brasilian.
