Re: Golf IV Synchro/Quattro?

[David Marshall <david@volkswagen.org>]

In Canada there is a 1999 Passat Syncro wagon.  We also had the Passat G60
Syncro in 1992 and of course the 86 thru 91 Syncro Vanagons.  State side
there was the Syncro Quantum.

But I agree, the Golf Country would have been a great seller.  My theory is
VW doesn't want to cut into Audi Quattro sales, but seeing how a lot of
Audi dealers got chopped in Canada, Syncro is coming back....
