Uh... no... you actually just told ME that....
I simply said that Eurovans suck, and YOU then said that if Eurovans suck,
then 82-91 Vanagons suck.
I do not really see the logic here.....
AND... if you can really go so far as to say that Waterboxer engines suck...
then we may have an arguement here.
But the beauty of the body and functionality, of the 86-91 Vanagons just
cannot be argued.
The Eurovan was a silly attempt to make a Chrysler Voyager competition, and
just looks pretty much like that. (I refer to the Eurovan in past tense...
because it is past tense).
But I said I would close this issue.. since there will always be people who
think that Eurovans are worth their insane purchase price, for some crazy
reason, and debating it here, will only result in name calling and slander
(which, admitted, can also be fun!)
