Pete - Actually, YUGOs are quicker than our Vanagons!  I have two
clients who drive them and I'm kinda impressed with their simplicity.
They're nothing more than archaic Fiats and, when taken care of
properly, seemingly last for a good while!

The only vehicle I've had any experience with which really was less
"peppy" than a Vanagon was the Honda Trail 90 my brother had back in
'65!  Although it could trash a current Vanagon up to about 55mph, after
that speed the Vanagon would have the advantage!
