Andrew,

Neither, I've always said "Van-again" but have also heard "Vana-gun. So now you
have four choices. :-)

Subject: Pronounciation of Vanagon

Being away from the market in which the vehicle was marketed under this (or
in fact any other) name, I'm not sure about the pronounciation.

I've been saying "van-a-gone" but realized yesterday that if it's a
contraction of vanwagon it might actually be "van-aggin".

Zo, whichizzit?
