    But van comercial vehicles have to have dividing screen (factory installed) to prevent cargo from smashing in front row in case of crash.
    So every year you have to install that screen to register your vehicle, and if the cops stop you, they could seize your vehicle, because in EU this is considered illegal mod.

      Luxury, nothing about the bright red tacky look of that cabin said luxury to me. If I want luxury I'm buying a straight up Range Rover.
