>You don't have to believe in pillows and springs and socialism to know >that the Vanagon is not very safe in a frontal collision. The only thing that would be of value is hard data, and I haven't seen any yet. Anything other than that is pure conjecture. There are many vehicles that a Vanagon would run right over the top of, so there is no way the above statement has any merit. It certainly looks to be unsafe, but then so does a vanagong going around a corner, but in truth, its pretty stable. SUVs look safe, but we have learned that they are not. Looks can be, and usually are, deceiving. >It's all about mass. The Vanagon has precious little where it counts. Its all about guessing what will happen, but not really knowing. John |
