Volkswagen EuroVan News

We're big fans of the Volkswagen bus , from the original Type 2 and its descendants, to the Vanagon that replaced it, and even the front-drive Eurovan.

Minivans are seldom the stuff of automotive dreams. The ads that try to make them seem cool have to reach back decades to the custom van craze of the 1970s to attempt that tenuous leap.

Remember Top Gear's convertible Renault Espace ? The guys who built today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Eurovan Cabrio sure do - but will this topless VW's price make you say forget it? At twelve grand, yesterday's diminutive SBC-powered Suzuki X90 came up a little short in the vote - like 82% Crack Pipe short.

My wife and I are interested in taking an extended driving holiday in Europe. Our thoughts are to buy a small camper van, perhaps a EuroVan or similar, drive it in Europe for six months and then ship it back to Canada.
