Wheres the 3rd seat gone :shock:

without trawling the thread i dont know if its been covered but 2 seats would rule it out for me which is a shame cos i like it.Surely they wouldnt design the van with just 2 seats would they?

The interior pics are of a concept Tourneo. The van will have 2 and 3 seat options.

Never mind Mike you win some you lose some :lol:

Its rare that I am wrong about smiley things! I have no problems with newer vans, I understand why people want them - but not for me. I don't need a van for my livelyhood, and I like to "tinker" which isn't really condusive to complex ECU driven machines

I bet the pay loads will be even less on the mk8. They seem to be making vans heavier and heavier these days

dunno about you, but i get the impression from what he says that ford are desperate to show off the new van and this concept was just to get it on display at geneva...

They may be keen to show the Tourneo, but the van's being kept under wraps for some reason.
