"Why not just bring the T5 California here ?  I don't get it."

I see your point - but I thinkt he idea is a new "Bus" not another min-van
inspired design. I hear the T5's are great - but VW just released the musch
less inspired Routan her in North America and I don't think it's flying out
of show rooms.

I think they want to capitalize on what they were able to do witht he new
beetle (finally).
