 The new Eurovan combines a five-cylinder engine with looks that will attract attention and could make the model a winner.
justs air intake automatically to compensate for low-and high-alti-tude driving.
   With 110 horsepower and a five-speed manual transmission, the test vehicle had no problems performing in city traffic or on highway inclines. In fact, it was enjoyable to drive as acceleration wasn’t a factor in this van.
   Hit the gas and it goes quickly. Pull out to pass and it does it toute
de suite, which is low German for banzai. I found this engine runs quickly and consistently up to red-line at about 5,200 r.p.m., the van accelerating all the way.
  When it comes time to haul ’er down, Eurovan’s dual-circuit front disc/rear drums work as well as any. VW also offers an ABS option.
  Inside, the test vehicle had comfortable bucket seats for four and a
comfortable rear bench for three. Options include seating for eight, or even 10 with an extended wheelbase model.
   The two middle bucket seats have several handy features, including shoulder/lap belts, cup holders, map/book pockets and fully adjustable armrests from 90 degrees (flush with the seat back) to horizontal.
   Fold the seat backs forward and
they lie flat like tables. Both have shallow indents for cups.
   The front seat has two cup holders inside the glove compartment door. Incidentally, this storage compartment in the VW van is the deepest I’ve ever seen. Don’t ever store your skis in there without tying a rope to them first.
   For greater storage the seats easily lift out and the rear seat folds flat.

  Somebody at Volkswagen broke the rules.
  Volkswagen vans are supposed to be noisy. Volkswagen vans are supposed to be gutless.
  Volkswagen vans are supposed to be decorated on the outside with poorly painted peace signs and hallucenogized         flowers.
Volkswagen vans are supposed to be decorated on the inside with up to one dozen international terrorists armed with AK-47s.
  But somebody broke the rules. The 1992 Eurovan fits none of the stereotypes.
  I can’t say how dramatic the changes are over previous models because the last time I drove a VW van was shortly after the earth cooled. That model was so gutless it would have had more power had they scratched the diesel engine and harnessed the van to a one-mule team.
  Enter the flashy, splashy Eurovan.
  On looks alone, it’s a winner, streamlined and contemporary. In fact, a cab driver even pulled up
Volkswagen
beside me in a parking lot just to ask about it. He thought it looked great, he said, and wanted a better look.
  Of course, whenever a cab comes near me, I just naturally assume he’s there to cut me off in traffic and then make obscene gestures, so I was surprised when this fellow was polite and friendly. If the population as a whole responds as enthusiastically about this van as he did, Volkswagen won’t be able to keep up with demand.
  After answering his many questions about the Eurovan, I held out my hand for my tip.
  He cut me off.
  The van’s traditional rear-mounted, four-cylinder air-cooled engine, sometimes referred to as four fat mice in an oval tread-wheel, is history.
  In it’s stead is the same engine used in some Audis, albeit with a different camshaft to give the Eurovan more low-end torque.
  Under the sloping front hood, which stays up without an annoying support bar, is a transverse-mounted five-cylinder 2.5-litre engine. It’s digifant fuel injection ad-
