Having now owned a Eurovan MV there is no way I trade it for a Vanagon
Carat, even if both were new. I love the way this van handles, drives, the
power, etc. I am talking regular vans here though, campers are a different
story. If I had to replace my 83 Westy it is a tough call.  If I were in the
market for a new camper I would probably go with a 90-91 Vanagon. The
Eurovan campers are kind of "cave like" IMHO and seem pretty dark inside and
very "cold".

In terms of "cool factor" the Vanagon wins hands down. ;) As my wife says
"Can we drive the Eurovan to the campsite and have it turn into the Vanagon
when we get there?". :)

 RE: Vanagon Westy vs EVC
Although I've never owned a Eurovan I made some caparisons when I had to
replace my '85 Westy.  I came to the conclusion that if you like the
interior layout and space and overall setup in the Vanagon based Westy you
will NOT like the Eurovan setup.  And since then I've run into at least
three people that had past experience with Buses and Vanagons and when they
got a Eurovan they did not like it.  And within the last 48 hours there was
a EVC posted on the WetWesties list for sale by an experienced individual
that is going back to a Vanagon, primarily because of the low clearance on
the Eurovan, not good off the pavement.
