Sam et al:

After a recent trip to France, yes, Chrysler minivans are out n' about.
Not nearly as much as Renault, Citroen, VW, etc., but they're there.
What they sell for, dunno, didn't see any dealers.

In a nutshell, despite this list's cries for more, VW is essentially
ignoring the hotly competitive  minivan market, and focusing on their
'niche' van product--hence the high prices.

To wit:  my buddies n' I went on a bachelor party-river raft camp trip.
Present in the 'circle' were 6 Vanagons & 1 Eurovan.  T'was perfect.
