Wow...it looks so...normal.  It doesn't have the "taller than it is wide"
look that the previous models have all had.  To be honest, I can't say I'm
thrilled by it.  It looks like it is continuing down the road of less useful
interior space.  Having sat in my first Eurovan at the Detroit show this
year, I could see that it wasn't quite as roomy as my Vanagon, but I think I
could still use it.  This one looks like it won't do at all for my "stuff
hauling" needs.  Interesting.
