New platform, T5.Deakins 01-06-2003, 01:36 PM Volkswagen has released pictures of the forthcoming Eurovan/Multivan/Caravelle/Transporter. The Volkswagen design shows better than ever, and I'm looking forward to driving one with the 174hp TDi engine. [Dahlback might have a few goodies for it :) ] They are releasing it in Geneva in Mars, as a car not a van, yay :D http://www.bilnorge.no/export/bb_8928.jpeg http://www.bilnorge.no/export/bb_8929.jpeg http://www.bilnorge.no/export/bb_8930.jpeg http://www.bilnorge.no/export/bb_8932.jpeg http://www.bilnorge.no/export/bb_8931.jpeg Heep 01-06-2003, 01:42 PM Certainly looks a lot better than the current one. Do you know if it will be released in North America? The van market is dwindling some, but I always thought the Volkswagen vans were far more practical and unique than your typical USDM minivan, although less powerful (a 174 hp TDi would be a contender though). The new design might boost sales. Also, any info on engines besides the TDi? Deakins 01-06-2003, 02:10 PM Two gasoline engines: 2.0L 115hp, 170nm inline four, and a 3.2L 230hp, ~320nm V6 engine [R32 engine]. Three TDi engines: One is a new 2.5L 174hp, 400nm inline five, and I'm guessing the other two is the 1.9L, with 105hp, 240nm or 130hp, 310nm. And I don't know if they will release it over there, I'll look into it. Heep 01-06-2003, 02:13 PM Originally posted by Deakins and a 3.2L 230hp, ~320nm V6 engine [R32 engine]. That could provide a much needed boost... I think a lot of people think it's a little too quirky or something, plus it's on the expensive side... GreatOne01 01-07-2003, 10:41 PM Looks good, and I agree, I hope it comes to NA, I can't stand any more pontiacs :( Genesis2 02-02-2003, 08:17 PM it looks good but mostly every brand has a van 03JettaTDI75K 08-04-2005, 04:21 PM Looks Just like the current ones with the exception of the drivers side sliding door (a very nice option) I also hope that they make it to the NA market with the Diesel :) veedubmechanic 08-07-2005, 04:09 PM It wont make it here to the states! There isnt enough market for a vw van in the us. THats why they scrapped the idea of the new microbus. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
