And they are right since the official name of the 1979 VW bus, (2wd), or of the 1985 Syncro, (4wd), model is: t25.
But all the Syncronauts we know:
t25=t3
That is why the, nowadays, t5/t6, cannot compete to the, highest, 4wd, named Syncro, with Gelande, dual lockers, auto central differential locking without hydraulics, (and maintenance), 50/50 weight ratio, symmetrical, (Mirage), transmission, Direct Drive rear differential, (no clutch), with unlimited, off road, load capabilities, Soft Start front differential, (never breaks), auto correction/auto regulation suspension, huge stealth stabilization spoiler, riding on the air feeling, (rear engine, forward control), i4/i5/v6/v8/w12 cheap engine modification, high snorkel, (~1.80 m), lowest IIHS of the 90's death rate, limited electronics and many others.
We have to accept it:
in the year 2200 the t25 will be, (again), available, (?).
(Counting 10 years for the introduction of a new t model as up to now).
2020=t7
2030=t8
2040=t9
2050=t10
2060=t11
2070=t12
2080=t13
2090=t14
2100=t15
2110=t16
2120=t17
2130=t18
2140=t19
2150=t20
2160=t21
2170=t22
2180=t23
2190=t24
2200=t25
The t3(=t25) Syncro is a 30 years old car, back to the future, from the next century, year 2200.
(Please don't worry. A 2018 Haldex t6 is readily available if you cannot wait for a t24 or a t25 from the next century).
To the final frontier.
