That one is just for Postman Pat, isn't it? Or the man with a van version of Noddy.

That is really bad

Looks like the design got put before the board, and somebody said "It's alright but a bit angular" so somebody got a blowtorch and melted the front of the model "how's that for you now"

That caught my eye too, but I played with the Vauxhall configurator and couldn't get it to produce a vehicle with this powerhouse installed. I don't think it's available (yet?).

Maybe the Fiat-badged Doblo comes with this in the long-length heavy-duty suspension variant, but I didn't try their web-site. I felt too embarrassed to try - it would be like being caught downloading gay rather than straight porn. :mrgreen:

Just an update on this now it's on sale. The Vauxhall 'Wheels of Business' mag. dropped on the mat today, so if they're contacting me they must be desperate.

There's a LWB Hi-Roof model too which takes the new Combo to an unbeatable level of ugliness. It looks like somebody welded a miner's tin bath on top, and couldn't find the right size.

http://www.vauxhall.co.uk/vehicles/vaux ... odels.html

The 135PS engine isn't available on the LWB Hi-capacity van - only in the standard SWB van in the top 'Sportive' trim at £1500 extra. I can't believe this new van will sell as it looks so bloody awful. The Fiat Doblo version has been out for a year or so, and is still a pretty rare sight. Opinions anyone?
