VW Sprinter? by lvranger

I was in Tucson last weekend and saw a VW that looked like the old Eurovans they used to sell here only it was twice as big. Looked like a Dodge Sprinter but it was definitely a VW. It was going the other way so I couldn't read the model emblem. Any ideas?

Was it new? Not a Routan? They look more like Dodge Caravans (which they are). Not twice as big as the old EuroVans though. Maybe a Mexican VW (Volksbus)?

Definitely not a Routan. This looked like a work vehicle, a Sprinter with VW emblems. Tucson is about an hour from the border so maybe this was something sold in Mexico.

I had a Transit Connect blow by me doing at least 70 in a 45. I didn't think that little 2.0 had it in it. There were pest control signs all over it. I guess someone had a really bad infestation. Either that or something he captured got out. Stupid driver, neat truck.

I'd like to see a Transit Connect. I didn't think they'd be that zippy either.
 
Interest is growing - there's about 10 consumer reviews here and some forum interest:

...black Mercedes C300 at the Acme market on Oxford Ave in NE Philly at lunchtime. It's a lousy day to be driving a black car! It's going to be a spotted mess when the sun returns. I left my black Cadillac DTS at home today!

Maybe it was the VW Transporter. The current generation is sold in Mexico under the Eurovan nameplate.
