Hi... I did state very clearly that I did NOT want this thread to turn into
the classic "name calling" thing... I even subtley changed the subject... to
no avail.  Flamebait.... true.

Anyway, the Eurovan sold about 12 units in the USA... so there must be at
least 11 others out there who can provide some feedback (although if they
had the misfortune of buying their Euro-pigs new, from the dealer, then they
more than likely had to file for bankruptcy by now, have sold their
computers to pay debt, and cannot participate in our nice little
discussion).

And I won't even begin to approach the topic of air bags... the single most
idiotic car marketing invention ever dreamed up.

PS.   MY Vanagon has shoulder belts, had A/C (before I pulled it) has wipers
that work (even after I yank them back into position after an ice-stick) and
no wind noise.
