International Caddy versions

[brasstinman]

Wish we could get a few of these models here in AUS. Love the dark brown Caddy Life Style Edition.
I can appreciate the extra space in the Maxi Life but it looks too stretched out, wish they still sold the Life here because they look so much sportier than the Maxi.

I'll do you a good deal on mine ;-)

the Caddy doesn't need 30mm lowering, it needs closer to 70-80mm! 2.0TDI sounds good though!

[flyingfridge]

Mmm, 2.0 103 TDI would be nice, fingers crossed for the facelift next year.

My eyes really popped when I saw there's a 4motion version though, that would be AWESOME!!

this is the one I really wish we could have here though...

That sportline looks hot.

Hi Lams, you got any pics and details of your Caddy Life?

2.0 TDI with 4 Motion would be tops :D

Hopefully the new Caddy with cop the 7sp DSG like the new Transporters as well.

heaps of fun this car, and hugely practical! It's just a little slow...

[flyingfridge]

oh man those wheels look tough!! what car are they from, I know i've seen them before, is it passat?

Nice and low Lams, way to go apart from it really needed colourcoding. Lets it down I think.
Everyone has their own tastes though and for that I will make a concession!! Am happy it has the rail cover!! Haha!

Looks hot Lams, agree colour coded bumpers look nice. Each to their own is what makes the world exciting. :)
Trying to convince the misses that a diesel is the way to go over our T3 petrol. Just the cheaper running costs even with the loan are less than running costs of a thirsty petrol T3.

Has anyone seen the brochure for the Caddy http://www.volkswagen-commercial-vehicles.com/etc/medialib/vwcms/virtualmaster/de_vwn/_pdf_informationen1/kataloge/katalogupdate_kw_450.Par.0007.File.pdf/2009-10_caddy_life.pdf page 33 of 39 with the side vent windows which would look great. That roof flop looks funny. Not sure how much you'd use it...

Hi brasstinman,
last night I saw a clip on youtube called 'T3 crash testing'
that may help you in convincing the missus!

Andrew, I too think the colour coding needs doing, but the entire house behind the car needs colour coding too. I like my plastic bumpers, it's great for pushing things out of the way and push-starting my other cars with flat batteries!

I'd have to source the proper Touran bumper... maybe I'll ask Oli if he has any

The wheels are the Veracruz from the Eos Individual!

[brasstinman]

I saw those T3 crash clips, amazing stuff how that rusty dual cab T3 crumpled.
But the tests on the T3 vans were amazing to see how resilient they were.

Wait wot!

All that leather and they still cant give you a Glove box lid!

Geez, if the new Caddy comes like that me thinks I'll be wanting to upgrade sooner rather then later! Lets just hope it now a "life" option only... I want my luxo commercial van dammit!

Is a shame there is still no globe box lids, but hey, that massive over head storage area more then makes up for it IMHO :D
