  Please give it a break. Many people out there do not seperate the
difference between the different years. The point is Volkswagen Has been
making a VAN since 1949. I assume that they meant driving a VW van for 30
years.

especially due to the fact that they don't go as fast as the suv's.  When
you stop and think about it, you don't see many accidents involving these
cars - or, at least, I haven't in all those years.
