 The other day I heard that a German couple had a red Eurovan TDI serviced
 at the VW dealer here in Montgomery, Ala., which means they must have brought
 the EV with them from Europe.
 So I started thinking, how does one do this?  Does anyone on the list know
 what would be involved in going to Germany, purchasing a vehicle, maybe
touring
 in it and then bringing it back to the USA?
 This is the kind of thing I would do if it is not absolutely cost
prohibitive.
 Any information will be appreciated.

The Eurovan TDI was from Canada. You can buy them there and bring them here.
Canada gets all the cool stuff. Us here in the USA always gets the basic
stuff, untill recently, I guess, we have the new Beettle before the rest of
the world. Michael
