well,
like the housing market this will change.  poeple may not realize it yet
but, now is the time to get what you can for these vans.  like it or not,
right now it is a sellers market.  whether we want to admit it or not, with
rising energy issues, prices will crash on these prolly with in the next 5
years.  these $50k syncros that get 16 MPG will be worth 5K.  Don't get me
wrong i love my vans but i also know that in the near future they may not
make sense economically (do they make economic sense now?)
so i say let people get what they can now because in a few years it will be
a buyers market and we can all have any van we want for cheap, may not have
any gas to power them, but hey we can camp in our front yards!!
my 2 cents
