Honestly this is absurd. These death machines shouldn’t be legal in europe. That thing doesn’t even fit in the parking space, even though the parking lot has the biggest spaces in the whole city. The Golf Polo is so small in comparison, it could even hide in front of the engine hood of the truck.

EDIT: It’s a Polo and not a Golf, I don’t know my cars, sorry for that!

    Interesting! Vans are almost non existent here. Except for Amazon. They own a lot.

      So I heard, it was always fascinating to me, the cultural difference on it. To me (heavy bias) vans just seem better. Excellent weather protection, much better theft prevention. Maybe a tad more limited when it comes to large awkwardly shaped things, but you can still keep a door open and strap down your load.

      I also suppose visibility suffers in a panel van.

        I think there is a big part that is visibility. I’m not defending it. I am just guessing why they would prefer it to a van. Plus “windowless van” in America has a pedophile connection. Or a serial killer.

      My father in law has worked in construction all his life, and had a small company with his brothers. They had vans and light trucks. It is kinda common for other people to just rent it in some cases. And normally furniture, moving, appliances, etc, it is delivered to you by professionals, unless you want to save some money. At IKEA’s door often there are people with vans offering to you to carry the goods, and sometimes even assemble it (at a cost, I mean).
