new one looks smart

 

That does look well, like it last year at the 100 centenery at Dunton technical plant there were vans out in the paddock where we all parked all covered up with sheets, we were taking sneak peeks can't remember if they looked like that though

That looks cool A much needed update imo

 

best vans imo re the vw transporters

but that tranni looks nice

 

As good as they are, nothing drives as well, or is as practical as a Transit though...... imho

 

it's interesting that it's being launched in china where they actually build transits

 

Was speaking to guy who works for ford at rs central day,i bet you didnt know ford make V6 rwd transits and ship them to the states.

 

We are on the lookout for new work vehicle, wonder if finances will stretch to one of them when its out lol.

 

peevee, knowing steve - not a fucking chance

tranny looks good tho!

 

are they cutting back at southampton then

 

i expect it will be an october launch, let the muppets rush to get the 62 plate old shape in september, then launch new shape

 

no idea, but the china built ones are for the local market which is obviously expanding

 

It was mentioned in an article on either the autosport or top gear website, about how the tranny is replacing the econoline and econovan, and there will be the 365bhp ecoboost v6 in it from the taurus sho

New transit is nice. But its very merc sprinter esque

 

That looks well smart

 

They look ok. Whats all this kinetic design shit all about though.

 

Some cool pics in that link. Lol at the one with the dinosuar on the tranny.

So the van made in the 70s, is that classed as a mark 2 tranny.

 

Not fussed on that tbh.rather the mk6

 

Looks better than the current one IMO.

 

No, mk1 facelift.

MK1 was the original shape

MK2, plastic grille

MK3, first of the more rounded shape, wedge fronted

MK4, early 92-94ish first tweaks to that shape

MK5, the smiley with the curved dash

MK6, the new shape square grille from 2000

MK7, the same shape with the new front end and all new interior

MK8, the absolute stunner above!

 

Ive been driving a 09 transporter from new and its shit.
un comfortable
un reliable
crap cust service.
never had one breakdown in all my transit driving years.

New tansit looks nice
