You're not kidding!   wtf  I guess that's a Bay Window??  The seats and the front emblem are the 2 things on it that I even sort of like.

I kinda like it, Compared to the stupid F#$king Rotan thing

I liked this concept back in 01/02 when they introduced it, I think as far back as 97/98 they had some drawings of it
Thinking about new models and upgrades its good to me

I also drive a honda element and like the square box cars.

The only good looking concept bus was the one that appeared on the cover of hotVW's in the late 90s.  Anyone got a pic of that?

I remember that Bruce.  I agree with you.  Sorry, no pic though.

I like it, it looks 'chunky' and has a good stance, though the exaggerated wheel arches are a styling feature you see on a lot of cars today but will look outdated before long.

But my biggest problem with it is that the engine is at the wrong end (probably to meet modern crash standards).

Oh, and the Routan is a f'n Chrysler  ::)
