That would not be a bad thing. Biod built this way but no longer make vans.

The Americans are certainly heavily promoting this one :-

It looks ok but it's not quite right

Remember when the Ford Escort became the Ford Focus and opinion was split? This Eriba design is definitely a leap of faith, and the styling is awkward in places, but I assume there are some technology advances. For me, it doesn't score so well on the 'cuteness' scale.

it is an interesting blend of sleek euro style with American utilitarianism. Note the huge breakaway chain, and the easy to access gas bottle and battery. it is certainly about 1/3rd the size of a typical US trailer. We just need them to start using cars with sensible sized engines now and maybe we will save the planet after all.

I know it's all a matter of personal taste but I think it'd look 100% better with an awning rail of even just a stripe around the roof level to break up the roof/vertical surfaces.

What do others think?

I am with Roger regarding the stripe around the van near roof level. If this is just a fibreglass clam shell joined at the waist, it would have to be just a decorative stripe though.

Is it just me or does it look grumpy, or maybe startled ?

It looks cross eyed. The front windows are relatively small within the space they command. The same thing applies to all the touring range but each of the front windows on our vans has a wide tinted flange which makes the window look bigger. It probably helps with rain defection when towing too.

If they used the same windows or at least had some sort of shadow decals to make the windows look larger, it woudn't 'arf help. Same goes for the back. At the end of the day it's all about proportion innit.
