I don't mean to be down on Eurovans or the California, etc. but even if they did bring those to our market would they really fill the void of what we have come to love in the Vanagon? I'm sure they are fine vehicles but to me they lack the uniqueness, charm, and versatility of the Vanagon, Loaf, or Splittie - they look like a mini-van. Nothing wrong with that if it is a mini-van you're looking for.

That's just my opinion. More power to anyone out there who likes them.
