ShawnW Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I don't believe so. They were however sold in Germany and other parts of Europe I think. They had a Turbo diesel available as well I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortlid Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 You can check with the guys at www.vanagon.com but I think Canada got desiels and some on the left coast had some desiels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondasucks Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 lol want to talk about a holy grail? Try finding a Syncro Doublecab. For those who don't know what they are, the Doublecab is basically a Vanagon, with four doors instead of two + sliding door, with a bed. Not all that uncommon, but of the syncro version they only imported eight I think to north america, and of those one was destroyed during transit. Def. would not mind a doublecab, those sure do turn more heads than a Vanagon, but I also wouldnt' mind finding another vanagon when I get home :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously know more about them than I do and I may be mistaken, but I know it was a double cab and I could have sworn it was a syncro. I actually remember reading the article in Car and Driver when they were new. The author called is a "swiss army knife on wheels." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elwood91 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Try finding a Syncro Doublecab Quite a few of these in Pacific NW now, most have been imported through Canada. Yahoo even has a "syncro double cab" group. I've seen a few of the 16" around Portland and at the NW Mogfest. Classifieds on The Samba has some rare vanagons for sale, usually in Europe but some have been imported already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
