Here's one I made earlier  ;D

(http://www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/acatalog/Van_Wide_350.jpg)

I have to say that this is one of the best vans that I've ever had (previous van was a T5 Transporter). It is the 3 litre diesel automatic dual-liner with the rear seats removed.

Very car-like to drive, far more comfortable than the T5 and only about 1mpg less efficient on average (T5 was a 1.9 102PS).

Bought it as an 18 month ex-demo/managers vehicle.

I have had old shape merc for 10 years on airport & taxi job and she 13 years old.

All those who used transits before are on Mercedes New Shape now. Drive them right and regular service they are pretty bullet proof. 8)

Simple, but effective colour combination.

The main reason we went for the Vito apart from the quality was that it was a rear-wheel drive compared to the T5 being front-wheel drive. The number of times the T5 got stuck down tricky Cornish hills was embarrassing. With 800kg of weight in the back it was often enough to tilt one front wheel off the ground and then you're stuck.

We have yet to find a maneuvering situation that has beaten the Merc. Also we work on some very steep hills and the automatic gearbox with lots of power behind it makes stopping and starting so much easier - gone is the smell of clutch!

Know what u mean alex. The front wheel drive is good on winter when roads icy. The back end does not try to come round. Would def go for auto on new shape merc.my mate has one done 200.000mls in just over 3 years .still going like a new one.
