Review written on 7/1932.
Competition in the Van segment has just gotten a little more heated. Philadelphia Motors has launched the Appalachian. Is this Van enough to unseat the Appalachian Diesel or will it be worse than the Vesta. Don't worry! We have the answers.

As always, our first stop with the Philadelphia Motors Appalachian was the track. This Van may wow some people. It's certainly has better power and performance than most of its peers. The 105 hp @ 3121RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine is able to put a healthy amount of rubber on the road. When you do this properly, you're able to propel the Appalachian to a top speed of 64 mph and drag times of 23.559s 0 to 60 mph are a breeze. The engine puts out 142 lb-ft of torque making it able to tow 2786 lbs which is average for this class. Philadelphia Motors really did well with the Appalachian when it comes to the track. I certainly think this vehicle is better than most in its class. The Philadelphia Motors Appalachian handles smoothly and can really turn a corner for a Van. While it is certainly not a race car, it can handle any real world situation you throw at it.

Once we were done playing on the track, we got a good look at the Philadelphia Motors Appalachian and I must say, we were quite impressed. While not the most luxurious vehicle on the market. It is quite comfortable for what it is. There is just enough styling and support to last on long trips and impress friends, while not being overly expensive like hyper luxurious vehicles.

The Philadelphia Motors Appalachian is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. With 123 cu-ft of cargo and passenger room you should never have any issues with transportation. Even if you have to move an elephant...

The manufacturing process of Philadelphia Motors has really found something. The Appalachian seems like a hand built car through and through. The workmanship is amazing. Only fine artisans could produce something like this.

It is a rare occurrence to see the Philadelphia Motors Appalachian in the shop. These are some of the most reliable vehicles in the segment made. Philadelphia Motors knows how to build a machine that will last the ages. No planned obsolescence here.

Whether or not the Philadelphia Motors Appalachian is an energy company conspiracy or not is up for debate. What is certain is the Appalachian awful fuel mileage of 6.8 mpg will certainly drive up energy stocks!

The extra effort from Philadelphia Motors to make the Appalachian feel safer pays off. The reinforced frame makes the vehicle much more impact resistant. Don't go driving into walls your self, just take our word for it.

When you drive the Philadelphia Motors Appalachian you'll see other Van on the road and think to your self: Why would anyone buy anything other than a Philadelphia Motors. Simple answer, they're stupid!
