>> Will Routan owners be welcome on this list? <<

Sure they will but they'll probably want their own list.  Why listen to our
head gasket issues when all they are going to be worried about is cup-holder
replacement, types of satellite TV reception, cleaning leather seats, etc.
About 4 years later they will be discussing what tires to buy then at about
5 years when their tranny breaks they'll wonder why they opted for VW's 1
day warranty and crappy dealer network when they could have gotten the
lifetime powertrain warranty from Chrysler.
