X3........Function over a aesthetics........it works & does the intended job.

 

From a fleet management perspective, of course. But a driver would feel better about his life choices if his van wasn’t uglier than (something really ugly)

 

My neighbor has the Nissan NV. Not the prettiest vehicle on the block but very efficient for his profession. Had a Chevy van prior to this but said this works so much butter. Guess it depends on what you need it for.

 

Hey Mike, I think Dodge outdid themselves and made an even uglier van. Meet the Promaster's smaller sibling, the Promaster City. The "RAM" badge on the grille makes it even more pathetic, lol.

 

Could be worse...

 

Pretty sure these things are related, the Promaster City is based on this Fiat. They should've called it "Ramlet" lol.

 

The City with the painted bumper isn't so bad...

 

^^^ haha, seen a bunch of those in europe... just hideous.

wires hanging down at back are a nice touch.

 

I really see no issue with the looks. It's a work van who cares.

 

Looks cute.

 

Most of them are probably sold as cargo versions with non painted bumpers, but being so ugly and crappy compared to the Metris they will probably sell like 12 of them total, lol.

 

How much cheaper than the Metris? I really don’t care what my cargo vehicle looks like as long as it’s a good value and capable.

 

Fizzboy just might be right. If anything looks more awkward than Ram Promasters, it has to be that little Fiat. However, Steve and rogerh00 also have a point, though, that one usually does not buy or operate a cargo van to win any automotive beauty-contests. I can see both sides of the issue.

 

Cost of ownership and operation is way more important than looks here

I own a Transit Connect that gets used in our property management arm. I’ve never even driven it…

 

Lol, I drove the Metris once, the Sprinter twice. Whenever I get a new truck, I gotta be the one to "pop the cherry" by picking it up from the dealership, but then I only drive them if I need to bring something large to my house.

No idea how on the price difference between the Metris and the Ramlet.
