I can strongly recommend this Adventurewagon top ... the aerodynamics are excellent. goes through the air more smoothly than a Westy, at say 60 + mpg. Does not feel top heavydriving it. Does not seem like any additional aero drag ..even though the front area is abviously greater than a tin top or Westy ..the shape is so much better really. That pointy back end .... moves the center of pressure aftward a bit, giving a slight arrow affect. And it just look neat too, like the back is a slight DA ..if you know what that stands for in hair styling. and the room inside ....*gobs* of room. The front storage area above the front passenger area is like 30 + cubit feet, and the rear area is just huge too. you could almost play basketball inside ..it feels like there's that much room overhead. scott www.turbovans.com
