Coming next year I wonder how it will stack up against VW

Good pick up there Transporter it certainly is the same van , naturally engine and tranny specs would vary from different countries . Toyota used to sell the Hi Ace SBV van here so who knows lets face it the current Hi Ace is an awful square box on wheels it has no redeeming features , but in saying that they are popular but then the owners of those probably have never driven a VW van so they do not know what they are missing [ VW problems aside ] The Maxus is due for release in January 2013 I would imagine this will have an impact on Hyundai not sure how VW will react as they have their Runner model

Form that same site, I think the Ford Transit Custom Automotive Tv would be my pick if i didn't decide on a Vw T6. If Ford dropped the 3.2 tdi as used in the new Ranger in there my decision would be even more swayed over....

That's a pretty good looker should give all van makers a run for their money as long as the Aussie importers don,t do what they did in the old days they had some models with a V4 configuration engine that wouldn,t pull a sick boy off your sister !!! Then like GM - Bedford they slammed a six cylinder engine into them .

What impresses is the cabin layout and features suited to delivery/"road office" situations. I think the planned engines are carry overs of the current model so less powerful then the 132kW VW, but the biggest bummer could be no auto. The full size Transit to replace US E series vans is getting a 270kW turbo V6, which just might be enough, lol...
