I was always curious aobut the naming of VW's new van.  Its was 
originally going to be called the Caravelle.  In fact, that's what it is 
in Europe.  Here, however, its the Eurovan.  I've always been curious as 
to why, until yesterday.  I pulled up to a stoplight behind a Plymouth 
Caravelle.  It was basically a "K" car, but with a different name.  I've 
never seen one before, but it must be the reason for the name change.  
Wierd.
