T5 2012 model changes and 2.0 TSI Multivan Released in Geneva

[Silver Caravelle]

I also wonder whether all that extra power and torque is negated by the traction control kicking in - particularly on a front wheel drive version?

Should be here by end of year or early next year.

Any updates on when/if these will be available down here? Are available in Europe yet? Any reports on how they go?

You can sell it and buy the TSI. I would, no actually, I did.
Around year 2002 I traded in my 2.5 year old Vito108CDI on the new Vito108CDI. Then 3months later, I found out that there was a Vito 112CDI 95kW manual (these were only with A/T in Australia) at the dealer. Quick trip to the dealer to verify that it was the 112CDI (they didn't know, thought that MB put wrong badges on it, and were about to send it back), yep it was much faster than 60kW 108CDI, shook the hand with the dealer and I traded in my 3 months old Vito. It cost me $5000 and I was happy to pay the difference. That was my last Vito, I sold it while was waiting for my T5.

Already on it Transporter .... hence the reason I know what is in MY12 .... given its a 6-7month wait, ordering in July will potentially see a new TSI350 replacing the TDI in January next year. Enough time to plan for all the tuning its going to need to make it a TSI450+ .....

250kw/500NM T5 will be fun ..... btw, has anybody tried to find out if the Multivans have launch control ......

So, the T6 has to be around the corner then. I remember when they came with T4 350 (or maybe it was called differently, but had a heaps of extras) T5 came year after.
