The price difference is only $5K any big company that buys Hiaces should ashamed of themselves.

I'm not really horrible. It was just my overly-frank way of asking what price do you pay for something that's not safe (the ultimate price!), versus the price you pay for something that is. Naturally, I hope you get something good for you and your kids. Sorry to appear heartless or brutal, Simon. I’m not really horrible.

Certainly helps to know what is out there. Speaking of which, any chance of a people mover comparison? Perhaps along the lines of diesels/petrols? Thanks David.

The iMax is certainly an option, also has diesel, and is an excellent product.

I'm hoping the CX-9 will get the new diesel engine. Otherwise the IMax is a serious option. Couldn't bring myself to buy a Kia with all the horror stories and no diesel option. I agree Philthy, well done Mercedes for raising the bar. We should see other manufacturers following soon. Then I can buy a reasonably priced, safe van! Good thoughts Alex.
