If they do produce them we won’t sell them here in the states unfortunately. I do like the concept with the truckbed

I'm having trouble visualizing it. It needs a beach setting and scuba gear.

it looks shorter and stubbier than a DoKa, and doesn't look like there's much seating room in the 2nd row either? Then again, hard to tell from an artist rendering... Idea

Looks like no rear seats, only 2 seater where the chairs move for an impromptu picnic with the built-in cooler in the rear. Or group porn-surfing on the built-in-tablet table.

Now they could sell that with a seating /ROPS set up for the rear. Say just put a bolt on bed cap like the old blazers had with some BS dummy seat for kids like a Subaru brat and the bed is now a passenger area.

Not a truck then is it? This thing would look like eurovan until the new owner throws that stuff away.

I love it. I expect that we won't get the Tristar either and that it'll be a European only model but that's no different to how it was when the T3 came out, hence 80% of my T3s are LHD.

Busman BE, that very busy exporter across the pond got up and personal with the new Tristar at the Brussels Car Expo recently; I think it is still in the concept phase and I have NO idea if we will ever see one in North America, but here is some more candy:

Apparently there is a T3 like treasure chest on the driver side that we can not see, and yes that is a REAR treasure chest where the engine should be. Apparrantly the treasure chest would access the space below the console behind the driver seat as shown in Geo tonz' photo above. That last picture is as close as he got to the interior. All photos by Busman.be, I sure do hope to drive one of these one day.
