I dont like it.
Its taken on a generic look, and as for the Transit badge on the doors, that looks like an after thought. At lease on the mk 6, it looked like it should be there.
Thats why I bought a 2nd MK6 before they where all gone.
So the question is what am I going to do in 5 years time ?

Thay all look the bleedin same to me, but then what would you expect when they are all designed by computer? The closer everyones software gets to each others the more similar the vans will look, I'll stick with my Mk3 as long as I can keep her on the road :D

the mk6 and 7 is a great van if you want a van that drive like a car smooth etc , you are a big guy and i would sugest haveing a sit in one first as the seats dont go that low! they go back far enouph but you might find the seat is to high! :?

The front is gross :( but i thought that when the sierra came out and i liked them in the end,The dash is lovely :D just hope they have'nt changed the steering wheel angle to make it more car like,and as for those wheel trims they pulled that design from a science fiction book :lol:

You only need two tools in life: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.
