I answered my own question..according to NHTSA:

http://www.crashtest.com/explanations/archive/crash.htm#anchor168847

88 Vanagon:
Front impact - 1 star (*) = 46% or greater chance of serious injury
Side impact - 3 stars (***) = 21% to 35% chance of serious injury

I think my previous Austin Mini comment stands?

If you drive a volvo wagon, you really want to avoid vanagons:

I think I'll buy some knee pads :-)
