VW Quantum

[Evan Parker]

How similar is the space inside?  Interior swap?

At least in the US, the 4 cyl models were all 2WD. Other names to
look up the car include: Passat (it was called that outside the US,
or the slightly upmarket Santana, which was essentially the appointment
grade of car we got in the US). For all intents and purposes, it
was a VW Audi 4000.

Yes there were 4 cyl models. They were a bit underpowered as you might

I think there will be a lot of info at their specialized web site, I 
*think* it is at something like synchronized.com, hmmm, which I am
finding no sign of...

Here is some random stuff...

The Synchro is AWD with 5 cylinder engines, drivetrain is the same as 
84-87 4000 quattro.  Engine compartment layout  is different though.
Body and interior parts are also unique.

The Synchro is a VW Quantum with AWD, as noted above.  Some Quantums
(Quanta?) are 2wd with the 5 cyl. engine.  I don't know if there were 4 
cyl. versions.

So... the Synchro is a cool car, but it's interior appointments and
features are definitely "below" the standard usually seen in a 4kq.

Wikipedia is weak on information about this car - a few tiny mentios are

buried in the VW Type 2 page, and the Passat page.  Also, the info I am
relating is fairly US-specific.

What year and country is your prospective purchase from?  Details, etc.?
