Several European countries, including England, Germany, and France have 
cash for clunkers programs, too.  In England, some vanagons and vanagon 
campers have been turned in.  I suspect that is true in Germany as well. 
And for what it's worth (not much to some, I know), just because most on 
the list like vanagons, that doesn't mean that they are not gas suckers 
and that they don't pollute beyond what modern vehicles do.  Whether all 
agree with it or not, the cash for clunkers program has accomplished two 
good things:  (1)  It has gotten a lot of polluting vehicles off the 
road (including some vanagons), and (2)  It has stimulated sales at a 
time when the economy sorely needed it.  Same result in Europe. 
Vanagons have their uses.  But if someone is driving one in a daily 
commute across a distance, that person simply needs to find another way 
to go if possible.  Just my tcw.
