Yes, and the very same ghastly vehicle was sold as Ford Transit (with
different nose styling), though the Ford version has now been
completely restyled. IF you can call it style. Like pigstyle.

So... who DID design it? Mercedes? Frod? VW??

Nissan vans aren't very reliable. Some Urvan/Caravan/Homy (all the
same van) came in as used imports from Japan, but are not popular...
used Mazdas, Mitsubishis & especially Toyotas come in in huge
numbers. They look a lot better too (Michael, se jpeg attached of SWB
4WD Hiace 3.0 diesel turbo EFI Super Custom, a digital-dash 2WD Super
Custom with rear spoiler & a modified Hiace in Jaopan).
