Well, it's done. I've come from the dark side (Vanagons and Buses) and really gained an appreciation for the Eurovan in the process. To the point where after I sell my Vanagon daily, I will have a early manual or late tin top Eurovan on my shopping list.
I like the interior better than the Vanagon - the rear bench/bed works better and easier, and REMOVES COMPLETELY - what a genius idea. I like the power of the 24V Vr6 - though don't need to win drag races, just need to be able to do the interstate for hours without feeling depressed and worried about the old pushrod motor so much. I haven't driven it in the snow, but talking to people and watching videos tells me it would do awesome - especially compared to my Vanagon that I used throughout last year.
Am I a convert? Basically. Do I want to keep this? Yes. Can I? No. I need to sell it and replace it for my wife with a Honda Element, plus sell a few more Vanagons, and a BMW, and a Porsche, etc etc to make some room and generate a few bucks I have tied up in all of them.
