http://www.nytimes.com/library/auto/wheels/001217auto-vann.html this should be a free site but you may have to register. Soon it will cost $2.50 for a peek. I thought the following quote was interesting > The current model accounts for only about 1 percent of VW's sales in the > United States. The base version, the GLS, seats seven in a fairly conventional > arrangement and starts at less than $32,000. The version I drove, the > Multivan, or MV, is $1,500 more.
