In person they look significants larger than those Ford Transits..
One thing I've noticed,  also having an Astro van, which the new GM city
van is meant to replace, is the rear access *really* makes a huge
difference in usable room inside the "other" brands... besides Vanagon.
It's very convenient to be able to walk into the van at the rear, rather
than having that access above waist-height.

  But, front wheel drive and no available manual transmission.?.... A turn
off in my opinion...
