And you find this unusual?

The bay area is filled with Vanagons.

Aachen Germany has so many, it's hard to walk to dinner without passing four
or five (if you are paying attention). This is remarkable in a country where
a ten year old car is a rarity.  TUV and the tax laws make owning old cars
extremely expensive, yet there are many dozens of Vanagons and Westys
running around the city.
