It's a shame that they don't have 4motion option. :( Otherwise it is quite spacious inside, especially Maxi.

It is a shame we don't get the 4motion here; we don't get that engine size though.

They haven't exactly released them yet, I think VW's press dept jumped the gun a bit. we won't get them in the dealership for at least another couple of weeks (i'd be extremely surprised if it's before christmas) and I'm only going to do training on them on Monday/Tuesday next week....

We will be getting the 103 TDI with 4-Motion DSG next year....

I wouldn't be holding breath too much for it Dermot. I know Franz was very adamant about it happening but when I spoke to Phil West about it, his response was 'Oh yeah, we're looking into it' .... Certainly makes it sound a bit like those vapourware 3200GVM Transporters from T5GP training

Still, fingers crossed!!

I think that there would be a market for it. I certainly would consider, especially if there were other options like raised suspension for rough roads and diff locks. :)

[flyingfridge]

I hope like hell that they do it. It'll be awesome. I'm pretty sure Seikel do off road suspension etc... http://www.vw-offroad-seikel.de/index.php?id=188&L=1&tt_products

Sweet. I'd love a Caddy in the future and the 4motion is a nice addition to the line up.

I had a look at a Toffee Brown TDI250 Maxi Life on Saturday. Compared to my '07 camper, it is like they have revised everything to make it just a bit nicer. Looks good, still no glovebox lid though!

On the VW site:
http://www.volkswagen-commercial.com.au/etc/medialib/vwcms/virtualmaster/au/common/brochures.Par.0012.File.pdf/caddy_life.pdf

This brochure suggests that there is a TDI250, TDI320 (which is confirmed) and also lists the spec for TDI320 4motion, with the Maxi being a DSG-only model.

TDI320 being $47k is nearly Mutivan 103TDI money, which has a better gearbox and more steel & glass for your money. Add 4motion it is going to be one seriously expensive caddy!

just heard a rumor - 4motion is on TDI320 maxi body only, 6DSG only. will be able to drive away for under $40k. watch this space.
