10 years from now, i predict that the only vanagons still existing will be late model campers..a few dokas, and some specialty custom vans. the passenger vans will be long gone.. the aircooled vanagons will be gone. i predict that 99% of those vanagons still remaining in 10 years, will have engine conversions. they wont be "daily drivers" anymore.. their owners having sunk so much money into them they are afraid to drive them down the street..

Most of the major vendors here on the list will have gone out of business.. or expanded their horizons to deal with newer passenger car models.. Go Westy will be selling groud effect kits and cold air intakes for mk5 jettas and golfs... and the like.. :<)

what are some of your predictions?
