It's amazing how far away the Chrysler minivan is from the functionality of
the Vanagon.  We're trying to downsize, but nobody seems to want minivans
anymore.  Good time for VW to come out with a new one!  Not only that, but
the Brook Shields commercials have to be the most gut-wrenchingly bad TV
spots in the history of advertising.

What goes on in those meetings at VW HQ?
