Unfortunately I can't help you either with the new ones, I still have a '99 that I beat the hell out of delivering papers and inserts with (120K original trans. routinely maintained) on top of being the family bus at the time.

Stylewise I prefer the previous generation but the new one has some nice family-friendly features that the previous one did not. Since you're converting it many of those features probably aren't that important.

My experience as de facto fleet buyer for our company has confirmed the theory that you never want to buy the first year of a new design ('04 Colorado's are a no no!). Go with the '07.
