        Hmmm.

        That's an interesting piece of obfuscation...I wonder if it really
        originated with VW or was it something the salesdude came up with.
        If it wasn't "officially imported", there's NO WAY they could sell
        it...Obviously the 97EV chassis usesd in the EuroVan Camper was
        officially imported, a GLS just has all the interior parts and
        windows.

        Gee...perhaps they'd give a 10% discount on this vehicle, too?
