Doesnt look as big as the current one.

And looks a bit 'Hyundai' to me.

I'm sure it'll sell my the million though.

I drove a P reg LWB Transit the other week - similar to the 2nd one from the right in the pic on that page.

On 75k on it's 2nd engine - rusty and generally a bit tired. Not the nicest thing to drive but felt fairly hard as nails as far as the engine goes (not sure how many miles in it is on engine 2) - can see why they're the success that they are.

Whoa - hold on!

The 'New Transit' on Ford website is:

http://www.ford.co.uk/Commercialvehicles/Transit/E...

The NEW NEW Transit - as per the white one is called the Transit Custom. So, perhaps it's not really a new Transit after all but an attempt to launch a new model, similar size to a SWB now, and then stick some silver grilles on old shapes to shift them from stock.

So, the big fleets will buy the old ones because they'll be a bit cheaper, and one-off buyers will perhaps buy the new one because they have a choice and time to shop around.
