That really has a strong influence from the other family members, especially the Touareg. Looks good! I hope they do something about the rear end, as I've always found it to be a bit boring.

I also wonder, will this update be done on Multivan models only, or will it be carried over to the Transporter range as well? As you may remember, when the T4 got it's facelift, the Transporter kept the old front end design.
