no doubt. case in point; my wife, didn't much care = for my VW "fetish" until we got our '90 GL. she was slowly = won over after a couple long road trips with the kids (stowable in the = back when the bed is pulled out). but i didn't really notice the change = in her until we bought a new 4runner last week and she opted to drive = the bus instead. i was so proud. there's no other car quite like = it.

enjoy and good luck!
