The US needs small utilitarian Vans like this. It could save companies money, especially the ones using those SWB Chrysler Minivans. A small 4cyl to power......Manual or auto trans.......it's perfect.

Just one issue, why doesn't the stereo have a display?

It's ok...
I don't like the interior though.

Yep, the stereo display is in the pod at the top of the dash.  Also note the audio controls on the steering wheel.  Seems like a handy little van.  It's not quite as basic and utilitarian as the old Kangoo.  Also remember these are pretty inexpensive compared to more car-like alternatives like the Opel/Vauxhall Zafira, Ford C-Max and Fiat Multipla, not to mention Renault's own Scenic.

I want one, but only if they nut-up and rename it "Kangaroo"

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

I got pretty well flayed in another thread for suggesting that the Honda CR-V Element would be a good basis for a small van. The opposing view was that a family minivan-based vehicle was better. My thinking was that the Element-type van would fill the niche for people who want something small.

Good question; I'm not sure. It's a bit hard to tell which cut is which once you've run over one with a road train.

I'm wondering if that chunk of tail tastes good.

I believe you can make a nice kangaroo tail soup out of it.

These things hop around too much to make a nice fatty steak. Let's chain one to the ground.
