No... We're looking at three possibilities (in order of preference):

1. Honda Oddity
2. Toyota Sienna
3. Eurovan MV

The vanagon was always a bit too high maintenance for my wife.. between
having a heart attack every time the temp-gauge LED starts blinking to
having to plan your accelleration... I'm really going to miss having the
space and versatility that the vanagon gave us...
