Anyone actually work for VW?

[Diamond Hell]

Yes, but not that practical for a family car though 

Eh?

However not? 

Single and adjustable position seats (to stop them fighting)

Big boot for all the child slurry

Nice high driving position for the Missus.

Diesel, so fuel economy not terrible.

No longer than something like a Passat estate.

4WD for safety and winter traction.

I really, really don't see what's not to like, except maybe the price.

Amorak looks like 'I shot for a Hilux and missed'.  Nasty brashy rubbish.

i like the one DH posted how much are they ?

[Diamond Hell]

standard model at € 34.545 (+VAT), “Expedition” € 42.490 (+VAT)

Pricey, but then the 16" T25s that were made are still very much with us and highly capable off-road.  They were super-expensive when new as well.  If I had the means I'd be there beating down my local VW Commercial dealer's door, demanding the Rockton package under a California 4Motion - that would be so many orsums it would out Chuck Norris Chuck Norris.

Looks very basic inside though...........no creature comforts, ie, carpet, sound deadening etc and I bet its a bastard to heat in the winter too!!

I'll bet it has plenty of sound-deadening and is pretty civilised.

No carpets is great - just hose out afterwards. 

If you've not experienced the heating in a VW van from T25 onwards, then you won't realise how wrong you are about the heating!  T4s actually had Eberspachers fitted to them to provide big heat before the engine warmed up.  Look at the popularity of VW vans in the arctic circle and you'll get the picture regarding heating.  IIRC the spec actually lists out an auxilliary heater, as well.
