Having just aquired a Baywindow (by proxy at least) I have started to wonder
why the bay seems to be so disrespected in compairison to other styles. Sure
the Splitie was the original and had more character and charm than one could
shake a stick at and the Vanagon is superior in its engineering, comfort,
and handling - however isn't the bay just as wonderful as the others? Sure
it's the "middle child" but I feel it is secure in it's Icon status. So why
all the bad talk exactly? Are they really that bad?

The Baywidow is the bus I fell in love with - way before I even accidentally
owned my first Vanagon. I'm so glad to have a Baywindow in my life now as
well - even if it isn't really mine. I hope all the naysayers out there
don't turn out to be right :)
