The Eurovan is underpoewered, undermarketed and overpriced. Why buy a Eurovan when you can get a Chevy, Ford or Dodge van with a reliable V8 for less money?

Here in Phoenix, this is evidenced by the fact I see more 70's VW buses than Eurovans. >>

So the 201HP V6 EuroVan is underpowered? Have you driven one?

I have some inside information that I can't disclose that says VW will continue the EuroVan in the US for at least 2 more years.

Of course VW can change their minds at anytime. My information is close to 2 months old.
