Cause it has a lovely diesel engine that I am sure you would be very happy with, and they are not prone to blowing up like 18 to 26 year old waterboxers. The cabstar is about as far away from the T3 as you can get. Why, have you got one?

Come on, just what point are you trying to make, and to what purpose. Why is it that you (like?) drive a VW and slag off the flat four, that created, paid for, paved the way for your cherished Doka.

There was no imposter was there.
