Are we assuming a VW main dealer could manage this
Team Bognor Motors #bmvs

We can only assume ;-)
I do like it! My T6.1 Sportline will be mine next year then will lease a T7 through my business. Will love a hybrid though. X
The hybrid is very good. We’ve had a transit with this setup.
When all Said and done no matter what you do to it it will always be a Ford transit with a different grille there Ford stamped all over them under the bonnet it’s not about the look it is a Ford and in year gone by Vw fans would never buy a Ford over a Vw as it was a different animal but now it is a Ford
As they say on dragon den
I’m out !
Ok
The funny thing is every trade /sales garages are all saying how good it is and not a single one is mentioning how it’s really still a transit and we have to learn to like it and it will grow on us
I wonder why
££££
Come and have a drive of it and you'll understand that with the right modifications it’s a good van. And yes funnily enough we know its a transit underneath 
We also understand the mistake VW have made going in with Ford, but presently there is no option moving forward. All the manufacturers are sharing platforms, it’s the future!
Onwards and upwards as always - we can only work with and improve what we are given

@Tommy boy We have to remember that Ollie and Bognor sell vehicles to more than just the few of us on here. VW have done what they've done for financial reasons, the fact that some of the die hard VW fanboys don't like it won't matter a jot.
Bognor have done a great job with what they had to start with, so we can either move on, or stick with what we currently have.

Except this ain't a "new generation" Transporter. It's not a Transporter at all - by any meaningful metric it's barely even a VW - and it doesn't embody anything that attracted me to the Transporter scene.
Does that matter a jot to VW? Apparently not. Is there anything we can do about it? No. Will everyone agree with my viewpoint? Obviously not, but then attempting to belittle through the use of pejorative language doesn't invalidate the viewpoint either.
Ita a commercial proposition. The company make vans, people give money ine exchange for them.
VW have chosen to call their product Transporter. That VW don't make it themselves is irrelevant to the aforementioned commercial proposition.
No-one gets upset that many BMWs are built by Streyr, or that iPhone are often made by an outside contractor, and thst metric applies here.
Taste is a funny thing and I totally get it that many will just plain and simply not like it. That I can dig. However, most of the excuses trotted out are simply trite. "It's not a vw..." - a VW is what Volkswagen AG choose to call a VW.
PS, I referenced "fanboi" as that had already been mentioned, nothing more. It's not pejorative in the slightest from me, as I am happy for the fat, thin, tall, short, straight, gay, fans, indifferent, French, German, and even Martians to buy whatever van their needs and tastes dictate. Pejorative or not, it's use as an assigned description for a sector of buyers (or non buyers in this case) had already been established in a post previous to mine.

I'm looking forward to the Gen 7 personally......
I get all that - just don't like being called a fanbois!
I don’t think any criticism can be levelled at BMVS or any others for doing what their business relies on. Regardless of what their personal opinion surrounding it may be - they have to move with the times & they have to sell these new vans. They won’t achieve that by having an openly negative attitude towards it. They can only make it as marketable as they have the power to, after that it’s up to the public to make their own choice. This is their paid for Trade Page on the forum after all 
Wow here we go
Last time I checked this was an open forum so I’m entitled to my opinion like everyone else
Loyal Bognor fanboys getting upset with me because I disagree with what he’s saying doesn’t change the facts
It’s not a transporter it’s a transit
And I’ve owned several transits which were good vans in there own right but all 3 of them deprecated like a second hand turd
Generally speaking vws don’t and there’s a reason for that fords are not as good as vws same with cars match up models for models and the Vw will be more expensive as Vw is meant to be a premium brand
So all you lot who are chatting we need to move on blah blah get with the times …..
you do that
But if I want a transit I’ll just buy a transit not a fake transit dressed as a transporter
And before anyone else starts waffling come and drive one I’ve d already done that and yes it’s drives nice but so does a transit and in my opinion the previous transit drives nicer than both my t6.1s
So you don’t have to agree with me but stop talking
It’s not a transporter it’s a transitI don’t have to agree with them either though and I pay to be member on here as well and I’m saying it about all taxes sales not just Bognor Vw and transporter hqI don’t think any criticism can be levelled at BMVS or any others for doing what their business relies on.

Yes we all need to make money I’m just calling a spade a spade
