Not sure what I think about the looks🤔
Like the versatility though.
Guess the price will mean it won't be my worry, if it ever does come over here 1 day.

Lots of space in the cab to fill with empty crisp packets, old receipts, baler cord, spanners, stale dog biscuits, dog hair, spent cartridges, empty 22 rounds that find small crevices etc

Oh good, they’ve relaunched the VW ‘Type 2’!

The key to good design is simplicity, they're trying to design an expensive Swiss Army Knife, when what most folk can get the job done with a hammer. All of the 'smart' storage just adds complexity and redundant weight to lug around for the 99% of the time that it wont be in use.

I think I'll pass.

This is a fantastic design. I hope they put it into high volume production at a competitive price and in right hand drive. It has the potential to be a game-changer.
This is the kind of thinking that should have gone into the new Defender and Grenadier. The Grenadier in particular is 40 years out of date even before it hits the market. This is a machine that looks to the future not to the past.

It just needs the IW canopy and the jobs a good 'un!

...and a winch to get expired sheep loaded, and a tailgate ramp....

...and 4WD....perfect

Don't tell me it will only tow 2.8t 'cos we got the 14' triaxle....

Oh well, put another UJ in the old landy - it'll have to go on a bit longer.
