    What a horrible day at Jalopnik.


    A burning Lamborghini, surreal art, that crackhead Elon Musk, Wheeler's paddle car, an ugly Porsche, and Tony Danza dinging doors in a Mini, damn, need I go on?


    The coolest thing all day was getting to see Leeeeeena's Carrera GT drawing.

    That's pretty cool how the VW logo is mounted on the cargo door. It's the simple things that please me. Logos. Dinosaurs. Hookers.

    @smalleyxb122: And so I says to the UPS man, "UPS man, how much is postage for this package?"


    And he says to me, "bout tree-fiddy.


    And that's when I realized he wasn't a UPS man, but a giant crustacian from the Paleolithic era. So I says to him, "damn it monster! I ain't mailing you nowhere, pay your own damn postage!"

    Is that a Sprinter chassis with a VW clip, or a completely different platform that just happens to look similar?

    @Mad_Science: It's a direct competitor of Sprinter and Ford Transit bus in Europe.

    Looks similar to Sprinter but is original VW design IIRC.

    @Manic King of Corinthia: It shares a platform with the Doblo, I think, or/and the Renault Master (Or a Peugot?).


    All these Euro-Vans are really good, but very similar. And the Sprinter is actually probably the best, according to reviews, so who knows.

    @Mad_Science: You're all wrong. Mercedes actually makes this under contract for VW. It's called the Crafter in the UK, and utilizes a 5 Cylinder Diesel, with an optional automated manual transmission. The front clip is unique, but the rest of the van is one and the same as it's Mercedes Sprinter cousin.

    I think the commenters that hate this have never lived in a big city. It's awesome, but could use a 2nd seat.

    Frankly, I'm surprised the Lunar Rover has not been a great source of inspiration for automotive stylists. It's TV spokesperson will surely be Major Matt Mason.

    Yeah, those tires will totally support a quarter ton when they hit an American-sized pothole. Why do designers think the tires on their future-rides need to be kate moss-skinny?

    @Graverobber: There is a whole lot of nonsense just to look techie or trendy. Look at the stripe of leds on the wheel covers. Why are the wheels so complicated, should be a 13 inch steelies with some fat tires. The cargo box while trying to be super adaptive is crap in every configuration. This man should stick a postit on the monitor saying KISS.


    The Piaggio was succesful for doing exactly the opposite of this, and it was a trycicle without any leaning shenanigan.

    @#6: What a great idea. Get her to hold a metal pole while you're doing it. Put a flag on top of the pole so she thinks it serves a purpose. She'll never know it's a lightning rod.
