SUCK!!!


Just wondering

I understand you love your Vanagon, but come on now.  With all the problems
waterboxer motors have, the boxy looking outside, the leaky coolant pipes,
the horrendous exhaust system, the leaky rear heaters, the leaky heads, the
exploding expansion tanks, the poor rear wheel drive traction, the body seam
rust, the slow acceleration, (should I go on?), how dare you criticize my
baby!

How much do you really know about the EuroVan?

The T4 replaced the T3.  It was the right model at the right time.  It still
is one of the most popular vehicles in Europe, and was for many years the top
selling van. (it still may be)  The T4 has also gone through quite a
progression over the past 12 years.  As the T2 and T3 that proceeded it, the
T4 production will soon be moving overseas to make room for the new T5.

Now that new T5 REALLY sucks!
