Pleasure way Plateau (https://pleasureway.com/plateau-ts/)

If I were buying a b-van today, the Plateau is probably what I would choose (assuming I couldn't find an unsold GWV Legend).

Yes, this is a big issue. I think it is the biggest challenge that the designers have in rolling out the current generation of "semi-autonomous" systems--keeping the driver in the loop without being...

I guess we are going to have to agree to disagree on this one. The idea that electronics are "inherently unreliable" is just nonsense. We routinely build spacecraft with electronics that consistently...

On the other hand, I have owned a fully-equipped (including first gen laser cruise control) 2005 Sienna since new. Just passed 150K miles. Since we've owned it, we spent money on exactly ONE repair...

4166

Fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles traveled:
1963 -- 5.18
2011 -- 1.14

Not necessarily. The MB "Active Safety Package" (lane keep, blind spot, collision detect, smart High Beam, etc) is an option. The upfitters can order it or not. I have it and would never buy a new...
