hey ric and list,

yep, like i posted earlier in the week, my local dealer has order codes,
option codes, color codes, etc. but definitive sales price. he said they
are taking "tentative" orders, which he explained to mean they place the
order with vw for the van. my wife placed one for the multivan :-) he
also said there will be three base models. the 7 pass, multivan, and
full camper converted by winnebago. no full westies yet :-( anyway, he
said they are to be '99 model years and should be available by
fall/winter with brochures available by summer. lastly, he disagreed
with the 2500 import number and said they'll ship over more if they get
the orders. looks like our '85 westy will be up on the block later this
year.

have a great weekend!

tony
