whats with the new vans???

The writing was on the wall when Dodge extended the bumper on the last generation full size van.
I call those the "busted lip" vans.

chevy upped the ante with the "loaf or bread" savanna, and then further uglied it with the front end redisign (this could be the official "ugly van contest" starting point).

The intro of the nissan full size van raised the stakes again, but ford quickly countered with an oversize, plastic redesigned front end on the e series.

ford then threw a curve with the transit connect full size high top- actually a good looking van,, but made a comeback with the low top window van version.

Sadly, the current first place holder is the new FCA/Dodge sprinter replacement :(

Almost no contest.
