Don,
I'm replying cautiously about this since we're heading off into non-Friday disciplinary areas, but are you sure about that Previa drivetrain configuration?  I know they offered the 5-speed, the AWD and the supercharger, but did they ever offer all three simultaneously?  I think they dropped the 5-speed about the time they picked up the AWD and/or the blower.  Further discussion of this best done by PM.

I do not disagree with you about the selection of a Previa, by the way, but Syncro lust has a life of its own.  Besides, a Syncro would be more easily dieselized compared to the Previa, and that better fits in with my inter-Apocalypse (Mayan and Zombie) considerations.

Regarding harmony, the thought of replacing an old vehicle with an equally old vehicle is anathema to certain members of this household.

Stephen

   Yes, but only if you replace the Mopar with a Toyota Previa
supercharged 5sp AWD for around $1000, rather than trying to configure and
$upport a Syncro as your daily driver......
