They're called "bus" everywhere but the US... basically any VW
Transporter, whether T1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, can be called a "bus" if it's
a passenger model... heck, the thing is only a nickname... I call
passenger Hiaces buses too; some have factory "Minibus" decals on
them.

The Hiace Grand Cabin 4WD LWB 3.0D 10-seater is a rare beastie at the
best of times... this one is even rarer because it's a floorshift
5-speed... almost all are automatics.

Shame I don't have any pics of the 6-wheel stretched Hiace buses they
used to use at Christchurch Airport...
