Yeah I knew about the full sized vans, I thought he was referring to the small commercial vans like the Astro and the little HHR panel. Still quite a few of those both still being used around here.

I was talking about the full size vans, like the NV Cargo and the Ford Transit Van ( the full size one, the Transit connect is the small one).

Lot of my customers have ditched there GM cargo vans for these. They seem way more convenient and capable than a regular cargo van

Yeah its a really nice work van, has a raised roof so you can stand inside of it and work in side the van. The Ford Transit is same way.

At my work we are mostly using fords either transit connect or econoline full size vans and we have had trouble with both re transmissions some have been replaced twice . There are a couple of us me included that have the chevy express all wheel drive, I have had it 4 years now and it has been trouble free . I personally don't want gm to go the same route as the others , their vans are ugly.my opinion only

GM needs to figure out their commercial vans quick. Technically they only build one themselves, the Express/Savana full size vans in Wentzville. City Express is a rebadged Nissan, in Europe Movano and Vivaro are rebadged Renaults, and Combo is a rebadged Ram ProMaster City.

Chinese-spec 2016 Chevrolet Malibu.

Basically an MCE of the current car. They never got the 2014 refresh we did.

They may be ugly but they get the job done. My customers that have them abosultely love them, they love the extra roof space esepcailly being able to stand up straight in their van
