    Possibly the most ugly car I have seen.

    If they did a Multivan version it would be ok that it was that ugly as I would only get to see the outside via reflection when driving past shop windows!

    Well, I have seen ugly cars and vans from every manufacturer. It is amazing what designers consider "good looking".

    Looks aside, from the information, the lack of an automatic transmission is not good.

    No, no, the ugliest would have to be the Rukus.

    The engine is nothing to be excited about either and the fuel economy could be much better for its CC.

    From a styling point of view I reckon Toyota have lost their way in recent years. In my opinion the 200 series Landcruiser is step back from the 100 series.[looks obese] The Prados after the ones from around 2000 grew rocket style tail lights. The Yaris is ugly & the Corolla seems to get worse with its plastic bulges on headlights & tail lights. Maybe I am stuck in time as I know some people don't mind the latest styles but it would need to be exceptional in all other areas for me to even consider buying them.
    Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.

    I think it is the US influence, the RAV4 is onother example of a bulbous bloated more recent model. I had a 2002 RAV4 and on the Rav forums there was constant whining from US people about how they hope the next model will be bigger, have bigger engine etc, that's all they think about.

    what car of that size could get better than 1200klms out of an 80 liter tank? not too bad if you ask me.



    i wonder why 2 motors of same capacity could have such different power outputs? mayby turbo and non turbo?

    Its just a rebadged Peugeot Expert/Citroen Dispatch/Fiat Scudo (Sevel is the alliance between Fiat and PSA) van - Touota and PSA have an alliance in Europe.

    I doubt we will see this here.

    I was going to say in my earlier post that it kinda looks french but I was thinking Renault. There is also some Fiat Ducato influence there too.
