<< I don't disagree with your measurements, but I have to disagree in terms of

usable space. I've sat behind the wheel of Eurovans. My head was crushed up

againt the roof, to the point I couldn't hold it up straight. My legs were

forced off to the side at such an angle that it would be impossible for me

to operate the pedals. In short, there is no way that I could operate this

vehicle. >>

I sent the measurements since its most easy to compare the passenger areas as
they are similar.  Yes, the leg room in front is restricted and I'll take
your word for the headroom.  I'm not 6'10" so I have no problems up there.
Someone else posted the comparison of total cubic feet and they both are
about equal.

Behind the rear bench is tons of storage space.  The MV models have lots of
storage under the rear cushion and the rear bench.  The bench storage is
difficult to access, but there is a cool pull out shelf available from Reimo
in Germany that makes access easy.

There seems to be a lot of misinformation on this list about the EuroVan.
I've liked every VW van I've ever driven or ridden in.  I can understand
Vanagon owners that like their vehicle, I just can't understand this hatred
for the EuroVan.

If this list is still around in 10 years, I'll bet the address will have
changed to eurovan@gerry.eurovan.com  and the vintage bus list will change
from vintagebus@type2.com to vintagevanagon@type3.com
