That's what a sportvan should be, you wouldn't even care if it wore its tyres out in 4k miles.

The 200PS will probably feature on the next generation sport vans, Ford are probably now doing their experiments at the lead plant in Turkey.

i think they should stick with the smaller 2.2 FWD and give it about 200ps that would be a lot better. :shock:
the new ford 2.2 engines give 175ps no prob.

I very much doubt that the 2.2 would pass all the reliability tests if it had 200ps.
