Comments? You bet. Overkill?? I think so. VR-6, Air bags and ABS are good. 4-wheel discs is too much for more $. And what happened to the 5 speed manual transmission? The 93 and 95 EV's were expensive and these ones will be even more expensive. I hope it's not true for everything. I bet you won't find a camper equipped like this stickered for under 40K. Youch!!!
