Toyota had one that they named 'VanWagon'.... I like 'Vanagon', but it has taken many years of owning several to warm up to it. I like 'Transporter', too, as I've owned many over the years. I even ordered the chrome hatch lettering from Europe to place on my '87 Westy (after I have it repainted). Mike B. -----Original Message----- From: Joe T.

What about: T1=Splitty T2=Bay T3=Brick T4/T5=Not appreciated enough to warrant any endearing nicknames. I would say Minivan, but they're built in Hanover (right?) so they're still part of the lineage and deserve some respect. Routan =Minivan. I think "Vanagon" is a dumb name. A cross between a Van and a Wagon? In the age of classic VW names like Rabbit, Scirocco, Jetta, and Quantum, this is the best they could come up with? I like the term "Transporter." Descriptive, concise, and it looks cool on the hatch. Joe T.
