It doesn't look bad, but that looks like it's pretty small. I'd bet it's along the size of a typical mini van (not the Astro either). Trying to judge by the size of the seats, I'd say it might be a tad shorter on the inside of a Vanagon, but I could be wrong.

It's about 6 inches longer overall than the Ford Transit connect, which is about six inches taller. It's about 10 inches longer than the Chevy HHR panel van. So that gives an idea of general scale.<br><br>Also, Chevrolet will be selling it's version of the NV200 starting this fall. Chevy dealers are much easier to find than Nissan dealers.<br>http://www.autoblog.com/2013/05/14/nissan-nv200-puts-on-a-bowtie-as-new-chevy-city-express/

That kinda sucks that it's that small as there is not much you could do with a Ford Transit as far as a camper van even with 10 more inches.&nbsp;<img src="/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif" class="emoticon bbc_img"><br><br>Might of been a nice alternative to the Astro had they made them just a tad bit bigger.

Uh, I can't believe that there is still activity on this thread I started OVER 3 years ago! 


Given the fact that I never bothered getting the NV Compact Cargo, I don't think that I'll being in need of any replys pertaining to that vehicle :huh: . 

Still though, I had picked up a nice brand-new Transit 150 low roof, back in April (2016). 


I never thought that the body color "Silver" would be so friggin hot to the touch! But on the Transit 150, I think that the white paint is too ugly (style-wise). 
Why cannot the United Snake Transit 150 models look the same as the United Kingdom models?
