Bradely writes, in response to what the EuroVan is called in Europe: > A T4 The T4 designation is actually VWs sub-designation of the current iteration of the Type2. The T3 is the "vanagon" type, T2 the Bay window type, and the T1 the original split-windshield type. >From the various catalogues, brochures, books, etc., here's what I have come up with: TRANSPORTER - the overall factory name for the Type2 line. Also used for the commercial van versions of the T4 as well as the base-model passenger version of the T4 with the dual rear doors (a la Chevy vans) CARAVELLE, CARAVELLE - GL - similar to our EuroVan CL and GL versions. The mid market versions with seating capacity ranging from 7 to 9 passengers. Full line of engines available.. from 4 cyl gas/diesel and 5 cyl gas/diesel as well as 5 speed std and 4 speed auto trans. MULTIVAN - similar to our EuroVan MV and Weekender. 7 passenger, top of the line passenger version. Also available in both 4 & 5 cylinder gas/diesel versions as well with 5 speed std, and 4 speed auto trans. Interestingly, there is a brochure which begs the question "Is this the largest room limousine?" Limousine being a large luxury car. There is a "special edition" called the "Allstar" with mag wheels, special interior seat colors, and available in either white, GTI red or green metallic. Others....California Coach - the pop top Westfalia version California Tour - the raised roof Westfalia version. BTW...according to one of the other brochures, the T4 came out on top in Germany's TUV (their automotive certifying agency) off-side frontal impact test. Ric
