VW touts Caravelle luxury liner
From News24 website:
Volkswagen's signature MPV has made a dramatic departure from its utilitarian roots with the Caravelle Business, designed to be a plush mobile office for business travellers and VIPs. The new flagship bus has seen the light of day in Europe, designed to be a mobile conference room with amenities such as wi-fi and Bluetooth on board. It's a clear swipe at Mercedes-Benzâs ultra-luxury Viano but the Caravelle Business gives business people limo-like comfort levels in a spacious VW bus. FLOATING IN COMFORT The (only) six-seater has four individual seats â finished in Nappa leather - in the rear cabin. The middle seats can still be swivelled to face forward, while the rear bench is split by a console also used to house a fridge. Adding to the super-luxury setting, the Caravelle Businessâs cabin is updated with burr wood inserts, satellite navigation and a 17cm colour screen, a 30Gb hard drive and a programmable heater to ensure occupants are kept toasty. Viewed from the outside, the Caravelle Businessâs look is kept discreet with privacy glass protecting the occupantsâ identities while darkened rear light clusters, front and rear parking sensors, LED daytime running lights and electric sliding doors add to the mix. And while the Caravelle Business will not be sold in South Africa, Volkswagen SA has said several of the flagshipâs features can be specified for Caravelles ordered locally, such as the pop-up table, electric sliding doors and xenon lights. Caravelles sold in South Africa are powered by the same two-litre, 132kW, bi-turbo TDI engine with 400Nm on tap, mated to a seven-speed DSG transmission as standard. click here for orginal article with pictures 2.6i Syncro Doka 1984 2.5i SSA PlayBus Syncro 1989 2.5i Factory 5 Cylinder Syncro 1991 2.0i Cox Camper Syncro 1989 2.0i Big Window Syncro 1992 2.6i 2WD Doka 1986 1.9TDI Golf Syncro 1991 "If you dont think syncro's are cool, then you better check your pulse" |

Awesome, makes me envious, now see how much we have to do to upgrade our Syncro interiors, i wish they would stop raising the bar!
