I could perhaps learn to love the Eurovan's looks, although right now no other
van looks as "right" to me as the Vanagon (the only flaw of which is the
proportion of the tires in the wheelwells; another rationale for 15" wheels).
But talk to me about performance.  How is it, stock, and are there ways to
enhance it, e.g. by using parts from something sportier that used the same
engine block?
