It looks like an Astro Van.   Boy am I gonna get chewed out for this 
one by Mr. Defender.  :)

Ever since I first heard of them I've affectionally referred to them as 
urinevans... I say aye.  and Aye says I.  

I have seen one (At a show) with the license plate
        MY OVAN

I thought that was cute.    =)
As for what they look like... We could call them pathetic american 
minivans, but that wouldn't be fair.  Just 'cause they don't look VW 
doesn't mean they don't act VW.
