[urq] Absurb looking "Automobiles"

[Wolff]

The early Eurovans (93-95) had 5 cylinder with optional 5 speed. The newer ones (2000-2003), referred to as "longnose", have the 6 cylinder and automatic only. Apparently the 5 cylinder Eurocan crank is used for increased displacement by some Audi tuners.

  Hey Wolff,

  Yes, Aztec claims first prize in the ugly category! Some of the Cadillac Escalades are pretty horrid too. I think the Honda Element must be a front-runner for non-aerodynamicity too. Saw a Eurovan a few weeks back on I280 near San Jose. If I remember correctly, it had a V6 badge on it (front fenders), and had been majorly converted by Winnebago??!!! The thing looked awesome, not to mention like a lot of fun. Did Eurovans come with opional engines? I was surprised to see that.
