I live 5 mins from Barloworld Bayside Moorabbin which has side-by-side Merc and VW dealers. I am now thinking more seriously about ordering a new van again (168,000+km) and will be interested to see how both brands "treat" me when I look to get quotes. Mind you my actual selling and servicing dealer has been Burwin's which is a 35Km drive from home however they have been very good to me and have been commercial van dealers for a very long time.
I think the ideal van (for me) would be the T5 body with 4 motion, add the MB V6 tdi, with a ZF 8 speed auto (as used in new BMW's)..oh wait....doesn't the Toureg have a 150-180kW V6 tdi and use the ZF 8 speed auto as does the Amarok.....come on VW......pull your engineering fingers out., they're in your parts bin already...and then the T5 can regain 3 red tdi badges on it's rear door.
