Well, I can't cite any crash statistics or anything like that, but I know that the personal injury protection insurance coverage cost on my '88 GL is lower than any of my other "normal" (85 Chevy Cavalier and 85 Plymouth wagon) cars.

Click and Clack (the Car Talk guys) railed on a woman about the dangers of driving her '76 Westy (tippy, no side impact protection -- suggested she wear a footbal helmet). Anyway, I've heard that the Vanagons are quite safe. Does anyone have real stats on this? Vehicle deaths per mile? Or Insurance company type of data? Tom
