Transit T7 On The Cards

Thinking this is a topic for a thread in itself.

Volkswagen and Ford team up to build vans and boost competitiveness

My father hired a new shape Transit Custom last week which I had the chance to drive.

I have to admit to being very impressed with it (& it was a 'base' model too!)

It actually drove nicer than a T6 & felt a lot more refined - the interior was also superior to the T6, loads of useful storage & a good quality finish.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was just a joint venture for the US market.

Or cost cutting R&D costs after spending Billion of fines

As long as its priced along Ford guidelines.

I'd imagine the T7 will now be all new from the ground up. Chassis, body and power trains......head lights. Hybrid, electric........ dilithuim crystals, flux capacitors and so on

Revolution as opposed to evolution.

No, it will look slightly, I mean slightly different, and they will move the cup holders again.

Don’t think this will be a “T7”, I think we’ll get the facelift T6 in 19/20. If this is sufficiently different the marketing dept may want to call that the T7 to try and manipulate public perceptions that the brand has moved on from the last generation, but if not there may even be a further tweaking a couple of years after that before this JV is ready. There’s plenty of life left in this body shell yet and it’s always a fine line between losing sales because you’re regarded as dated, and maximising profits cos you’ve covered all your R&D and tooling costs.

Nothing to fear though, after all VW have had joint ventures before, such as the previous Sprafter with Mercedes, and that went well didn’t it...

 

[Scruffy]

The windows will still leak no doubt.

No! Don't do it VW ford are utter crap!
