T5 Facelift (and new engines)

[phaeton]

That's a courageous statement for something that has yet to happen ! Time will tell whether your faith is misplaced, won't it ?

Sure will

Hopefully I won't have to eat my words.

IIRC I thought I read on the What Van website that they expected a T5 update as mentioned in an interview with VW UK comm. vehicle head.

http://www.whatvan.co.uk/features.asp?id=4973 interview was made in Feb 2007 and so I would have expected something by now or maybe MY09 change over.

What's happening with Transporter? When will we see a new one?
Not for another three years, but there will be a facelift before then. In the meantime we've just introduced a passenger-carrying Kombi version of the Transporter Sportline. We sold around 230 Sportline vans last year — deliveries started to come through in September/October — and each one carried around £1,000 worth of accessories. A lot of Transporter buyers — Caddy buyers too for that matter — want bespoke vehicles and are specifying optional extras such as air conditioning and satellite navigation.
