It's available in short and long wheelbase versions, as a pick-up, a box van, a chassis-cab, etc.... ITS A VAN. You can buy all the vans I mentioned as passenger versions. Renualt, Citroen, Fiat and Peugot (as well as all the Japenese manufacturers) also sell 'minivans' that are designed solely as passenger vehicles and are less truck-like. VW is soon to introduce its own minivan. It's not a T4 with windows, its a completely different vehicle. You may not have heard about this in the US yet. Anyway, its a design shared with Ford :-( and apart from the badges and a few bits of trim they will be the same, even built in the same factory. When Ah were a lad it twer other manufacturers that copied t'VW transporter. Young folk t'day, they don't know they're born. Andy E.
