Again, I had the chance to curiously look at a newer VW van/vehicle.  Dunno
the exact model and I again had little time to check it all out, but..
  I was struck by how "plastic" looking it all was inside.  Nice, but
totally petroleum-based materials used for the interior finish..Some kinda
sparkley-velour carpets and upholstery, gray unidentifiable cabinet material
with a "747-look"  "Make sure all loose and carry-on items are safely
stowed____"
  The rear door/hatch was open and as I walked past, something seemed a bit
strange....It finally dawned...under the bed was a huge storage compartment
full of bike wheels and folding chairs...weird..
  Would I want one?  Well, I could re-sell it and get a couple of good vans
and a subie/synchro with the cash...so I guess I'd take one, if anyone
offers..Would I buy one outright?  Hardly.
