Interior design of cab would have been nice. Looks like a transit.

Certainly very American looking.
Never seen so much chrome on a van.

Hold on lads, have a look at the pic with the rear 3/4 view, looks a bit familiar doesnt it!.

Methinks vauxhall is trying to pull the wool over our eyes telling us it is a 'new' van, when it is actually just heavily facelifted ::)roll

Nope.
It's definitely not the same, even not including the front door.

Was thinking of a new one in the autumn,  but not keen on the looks.
The engines definitely sound completely redesigned,  from the description.
Certainly reminds me of the Transit
 custom,  which I also don't like the look of.

Dont like the front end what so ever!
Such a disappointment compared to the new transits.

Here we go again ::)roll

I did not say it was the same, i said heavily facelifted. As for the front door, while the surface of the door skin is obviously different (very easy for vauxhall to do), the shape of the door aperture itself looks pretty much identical to the old model. That is because it is the same basic structure as the old model, and so would be very difficult, not to mention expensive, to change. As i said, look at the rear 3/4 view, pretty obviously the same as the old model, look at the rear doors, other than the door handle changing from vertical to horizontal, it looks like you could swap them with the old model.

let's hope they have more cubby holes and storage in the cab than the old ones.

Wasn't that it was you simon, I just disagree with you, that's all.
Thought I'd agreed with something else you'd posted today but can't be arsed to look.
I'm not a grudgey bloke.
We disagreed once or twice, we debated-it ended. In my eyes...
I see the purpose being not to change someone else's mind on here but to cover bases and seek opinions.
Not seek beef.

Nice but not as nice as my Transit custom trend and probably about £10,000 cheaper !!!! 👀

Nice. 1.6 engine and if you have the biturbo can get 138 bhp from it.
Puts it on par with the vito's, they pull like a train

Transit custom looks great.
Bit too americanised that new vivaro

Just my opinion
