no doubt i will still end up buying one, just hope i can fit some big fat wheels to it
who's gonna have the 1st one on the forum ???
and is VANTUNER working on a remap for it yet ? :-bd

I think we will just have to wait and see what it looks like in the flesh and how the finished model will appear.
I am sure it will grow on us, my only concern is that it doesnt end up looking like an OEM van whereby there are several makes of the same van but with different badges, ala the poxy Vivaro which BTW looks like it went over a speed hump too fast and the driver and passengers all fled up and hit their heads on the roof.

The thing about the current Transit is that its obviously a transit and nothing else.

Time will tell and when my 3 year contract is up in 2015 I am sure any teething probs will be sorted and I will like it more by then.
Until then, looking forward to my new Euro 5 Mk7.5 arriving soon.

[bigjohnthomas]

I will be waiting till they are 3/4 years old and buy one for 20% of its percived new price
Should make up for any shortcomings I have in the trouser department

Well it has the same engine as the current euro5 so I'm sure he'll be on it very soon.
