I spent a day in Wolfsburg last week cavorting around die Autostadt and here was one of the highlights for me: VWs new T6 Multivan in the highest trim model the Highline. This has a 2.0l TDI and 7-spd DSG trans, all leather int. and all around just a beauty. Retail price: 74,948€
I spent about 30-mins talking to the showroom rep (in the best German I could manage) about our plight in the U.S. regarding the T5 and now T6 models. I got some commiseration and then she called over her Chefin (boss) to query why but in the end the answer remains the same. (politics, soft market for a $80k "minivan", etc).
So the best we can do is drool.....
