With all this discussion about "cab forward" and how Chrysler is using "revisionist history" to portray its "inventions"....one must remember that the original "cab forward" design (as Chrysler puts it...moving the front wheels forward and the rear wheels further back) did not originate with the Vanagon either....but with the tried and true Morris/Austin Mini back in 1959!
