Of course the differences are not just the dash and nose treatment; Mercedes & VW will fit their own transmissions, engines and possibly also front suspensions. At least the Merc nose isn't ugly... can't say the same about the VW, except that the Fort Transit is even uglier... maybe. This vehicle is a big step up for Mercedes; its previous van didn't even have independent FRONT suspension. -- Andrew Grebneff Dunedin New Zealand Fossil preparator Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut ‚ Opinions stated are mine, not of the University of Otago "There is water at the bottom of the ocean" - Talking Heads |
