A BIG one!!  With the introduction of the Intrepid/Vision/& the Chrysler
model I can't remember the name of, the touted their breakthrough design
inovation of:
                  "Cab-Forward design".  
You want cab forward?  I got cab-forward!  All Vanagons have "cab-forward'".
 All previous versions of VW's van have "cab-forward"!!!
