Comments?  You bet.  Overkill??   I think so.  VR-6, Air bags and ABS are
good.  4-wheel discs is too much for more $.  And what happened to the 5
speed manual transmission?  The 93 and 95 EV's were expensive and these
ones will be even more expensive.  I hope it's not true for everything.  I
bet you won't find a camper equipped like this stickered for under 40K. 
Youch!!!
