VW T6 - A reality this time? ;)

[SimplyDubs]

So the German press is talking about the T6 in earnest now.

Do we like the new style?

My own feeling is that it's a little Mercedes like... but as with all things this will probably grow on me. (Not around till 2015 anyway)

It's actually a relatively gentle evolution from the current styling in my opinion.

What's the opinion of the team?

Mirrors look flimsy - I like the styling and the squareness - it lacks a bit of solidity for me. I like the squareness and stance of the current T5.

Will be dependent on model etc and I am sure in the flesh it will be different. I am interested to know they are going to include hybrid technology and alternate fuel systems.

It does look a bit Mercedes like but i like the new Golf style lights

Just like the new Transit is an inflated Fiesta, that looks like an inflated Up!

Not sure about the middle grille area at all.

I don't think I like it, not sure what I don't like it just doesn't 'feel' right from that pic. Looks a bit like a cross between the microbus (concept?) and the new ford transit

It's a fail

Could look agresive from the front I think. Not for me.

Have to say, saw a tricked out Up! the other day, lowered, widened with a bit of extreme camber etc... actually a bit nice.

First impressions I have to say aren't great, looks lick a Fiat Multipler.

New Bus, old base
The successor to the VW T5 starts 2015. The T6 is based in large part on its predecessor. A real new design comes in 2020 with the T7.

B ince 2015 brings VW , the sixth generation of his pickup truck on the market: the T6. The technical basis is the T5 shows how AUTO BILD in issue 14/2013 reports.
Overview: All news and tests for VW T5


The VW T6 is not a revolution - it is rather on the tried.
The development of T6 is comparable to the step from Golf V to the Golf VI . The reason is simple: Because VW earned the basic models, not enough money, cost reduction is the aim of the engineers. Thus, the T6 does not a revolution but rather puts on tried and true. The van gets motors assistance systems and infotainment devices that are already in the VW Golf and Passat uses.
VW creates space: Preview Golf Plus (2014)
The most powerful two-liter petrol engine brings 224 horsepower to the road, its diesel counterpart even 231 hp. With these values, it is not surprising that the all-wheel drive is becoming increasingly popular in the bus. The career of T6 is expected to last five years: Because apply more stringent pedestrian safety and emission regulations from 2020, VW designed the new T7. More information can be found from the VW T6 5 April AUTO BILD 14/2013 !

OK if you want a 'boy racer' but I prefer having a camper-van!

I'm having another mid-life crisis... so a little of both would work for me
