Yeah...thats part of the problem. The Van lost it's 'Ethos.'

Its similar to trucks. They used to be Utilitarian. You werent afraid to beat on them, they existed to perform a function.

Same thing with Vans.

You have procreated excessively and now the little mongrels need to get to soccer or hockey or whatever. Shove them in this thing and get on with it!

Now? They've got to have on-board entertainment systems, the doors have to open themselves because children are incompetent morons, they've got have all of these features and blah, blah, blah and now they cost a fortune!

You lost your way Vans...you lost your way!
