Default $250K Luxury Chevy Van . . .


Luxury Living in $250K Chevy Van
November 14th, 2006

When was it cool to sit in a Chevy cargo van? Well now Ai Design has created a $250,000 Chevrolet Van that a has high-profiles and celebrities going crazy for the luxury that comes in it. Inside the Ai Design’s Chevy Van has 32-inch LCD video monitors, reclining Edelman leather seating, a laser engraved hardwood floor, aircraft lighting and a touch screen monitor for controls.

That's cool for low profile movements. It wouldn't stand out like a Limo or something.

Especially a Chevy Van...

Throw as much leather and electronics at it as you want, doesn't mean it won't fall apart in a few years.

Its still the exterior image though.....a VAN. Not much you can do to make the outside of a van look sweet, or rather 250K sweet.

If I were to spend that much on a van I would rather get the real thing instead:

The $265,000 Contessa:



or the $523,000 Marquis:

Werd Xero!! I was thinking the same thing. Why pay 250K for a modified Chevy van when I could have an RV/Tour bus for damn near the same price?!?!

However it definitely is a nice alternative to a Town Car limo and etc. Great if your in the limo business and looking to expand to other unique vehicles.

But I must give props to Ai Design once again. They've been pumping out some really nice stuff!!

Agree!!! The quality of the leather of this van is very poor...the Alphard has much better leather!!! So I can't anything in this van is luxury! I won't even pay $25k for it...
