Yet another question about production codes...

I've constantly read that the new Vaneo is to receive the production code W168 since it is based off of the current A-Class. Yet I've also seen a site where the Vaneo is listed as W414. Anybody know?

production codes

I've heard its being based on the new LWB A-class and will share the same code, although I don't know whether this has the same code as the original A-class.

Smile Vaneos

I've only seen the Vaneos in Magazines, and its being released in the UK this May. We've had a couple of the new LWB A-Classes for the car pool at work and they seem a better ride than the A-Classes we replaced. The extra few inches in the wheel base makes the car feel alot more stable an gives more rear leg room.

That's cool.

Is there much of a difference in cargo space as well?

Cool

Yes, when you take out the rear seats, but I doen't think there is behind the rear seats when fitted.
