"What an ugly car" (from Portuguese : Que carro feio)
Vid looks like it is an All Track type version.
Amazing how little is changed for the Ford version !!!

Probably the first hybrid bumper for the Caddy 5, have posted it as a project as well, will post more pictures later as the van gets more mods as well.

BTW still no auto wipers. They only had the van 4 weeks so perhaps I’m the problem and expecting too much!!!
Also, just been on you tube and discovered this.

Ford based transporter drivers are going to be well happy
The Ford version front end is so much better than the caddy

So a year or so on from the launch, and I've seen 2 (two) of these on the roads.
Can we officially call it a flop yet?

I've seen loads on the road but zero on the forecourts. Seem in the UK the people who modify these vans and add £7500 to the price got first dibs on whatever was available.
The basic white van with plastic bumpers seems to be the common available option outside of those resellers. I've seen more than a few as escort vehicle for oversized loads on the motorways.

@Doc. Maybe VwUK realised they NEED modifying. Send a few to the designers, and people may warm to them?

They need to get modified for sure. And it's not for nothing that the prices of the older caddys all went up.

I don't agree they need modifying for every user, I feel what VWcvUK have done is force the companies or individuals who just want a new van, to go elsewhere. £7000 will very quickly make a business forget about brand loyalty.
Remember our 2k vans were released in 2004 but there was very little in the way of modifications done up until 2006 or later.

It’s been launched at quite a bad time really. The shortage of semi conductors amongst other things is crippling the car industry at the moment. Some lead times are 12 months and more. I think ordinarily, you’d have a supply of modded vans and also standard vans in dealerships.

Agree with that, but it starts looking much better if you modify them, but that's with the older as well and that is just personal for each person as well. Glad that not each caddy looks exactly the same, would be boring.
