Fair enough.  I'd take one for less than a base
Caravan.  But I'd don't believe it's tariffs
causing the problem.  I thought those only
applied to pickup trucks....

Anyway, my concern is that VW has forgotten what
made them the company they are today.  Simple,
utilitarian cars and vans that were easy and
inexpensive to maintain.  I never remember the
VW's as being particularly cheap to purchase.

Not to mention the decline of the service
departments.  I've never had an experience that
was less than painful.  I've heard it wasn't
always so.

I'd love a diesel 5speed Eurovan for around the
price of an entry level minivan.
