Went to the CV show today at the NEC and took these photos of the new Transit. New interior is a big improvement on the Mk6, still not sure about the front - but I think it is growing on me slowly!

This one seems to be a MWB with a low roof.

Crew van was smart - badged "GLX 130 TDCi" - not sure about the lime green paint though!

This one was badged "LX 85 TDCi"

i like the 6 seater "crewcab" looks like ford will be adding that to there line up - you see a fair few vivaro's about like that so there must be a market for them!!!

Great work Gman

At the moment i cant say or think of a good word about the front of that white tranny :cry:

The blue is ok i suppose, like the idea of the lime green. I cant say i got enthusiastic with the interior either :cry:

(nice sterring wheel and gear shift/knob)
Sorry but its a thumbs down for me :cry:

If only they colour coded the whole front bumper :!:

And got rid of the 'pointed' part of those headlamps, they wouldn't be able to keep up on the production line :!:

it looks as if its been built from one of those little lego sets. i can remember when bmw brought out the new 5 series. everyone hated it. now its the norm. we will get used to it i suppose. :roll:

i really don't know about this one ..... it seems to have lost something, but i can't say what exactly, i also can't see many builders using it, all that plastic won't last long at all :lol:

Did anyone at the show notice if they had a new Tourneo ?
A m.w.b. model would be really great.

Good point Mike , i havent heard Tourneo mentioned in the new range yet :shock:

Does anyone know if those new alloys in the top pic will fit a smiley as they look like 16"

by **MrMPuk** » Thu Apr 27, 2006 7:10 pm

I would have thought so, same running gear as the Mk6 so will be 160pcd and 14mm studs.

Trolley jack and some bricks anyone :roll:

yeah i could just see you walking in there in a pair of ford overalls and telling the dolly bird on the stand "just gotta put some new shiny wheels on it" then stealing those !!

Like any new vehicle they'll eventualy grow on you. If you think that looks bad you should see the new vw. Got any pic's mike :?:
