I wonder if they tried to style it more "gay and friendly" looking so they're not as intimidating when sat up your arse on the M6.

I'm not sure, looking at that tourneo if I saw that in my rear view mirror I'd be scared for my arse.

I've spent most of adult life driving a Transit, it looks pretty nice. They have come along way, I'd like to see how it drives.

I thought the idea of vans was to be rugged. Plastic bumpers that don't mind being nudged into cones, skips etc. Rear steps that can be revesed into stuff and not worry about being damaged or scratched.
That van, whislt technically probably very good, doesn't look like the kinda van a builder would want to use to transport a load of bricks, cement trollys etc in.
Be great for those wanting to move a pack of dogs about though, providing the claws dont scratch the rear bumper.

Most vans on the road are performing a task and therefore the visual apperance isnt considered a priority unlike a private car purchase.

when I used to drive all fo the new cars and PoV's being imported and exported out of Southampton, the Transits were always the best vehicle to drive. Comfy, easy to drive, easy to reverse round a ship etc etc Especially nice when you're on your hundreth car of the night and its 4am in the rain and wind

This IMO
Vans are for a purpose generally speaking, this doesn't suit that purpose

Ive never bought a van on how it looks, only on how practical it is for me.

I hadn't, but just looked. A re-hashed Doblo then. What is it with all these new vans looking 'speshul' though?!
