The Vanette Largo was widened by exactly 90mm over the standard van — just enough extra room, and just short enough to dodge Japan's stricter tax bracket for anything over 1,700mm wide.

FactThe Vanette Largo was widened by exactly 90mm over the standard van — just enough extra room, and just short enough to dodge Japan's stricter tax bracket for anything over 1,700mm wide.
The Vanette Largo (GC120), introduced in October 1982, was 90 mm wider (to stay just under the important Japanese 1,700 mm tax threshold) and somewhat longer than the Vanette, with a redesigned dashboard, front disc brakes, modernised air conditioning and a budget "FL" Coach. It was developed into a cargo version built in Spain by Nissan Ibérica as the Nissan/Datsun Vanette Cargo (which largely supplanted the smaller Vanettes in European markets and was to have used a Spanish-made Perkins diesel that never materialised; the Spanish C220 was facelifted and built into the 1990s), with A15 and Z20 gasoline engines and the LD20 diesel (also turbocharged), plus a luxurious "Grand Saloon" Coach on top of the range. It continued until the GC22 arrived in May 1986, after which the Vanette name was dropped and the Largo became a separate, more luxurious model.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Chevy pitched the Astro as the anti-minivan, telling buyers life was too big for one, while it rode on a rear-wheel-drive truck frame.
The IIHS rated the Astro Poor in a 1996 crash test, yet 2001–2004 Astros later had the lowest driver death rate of any US passenger vehicle.
The boxy, unglamorous Astro quietly posted one of the best real-world safety records in America: IIHS found 2001-2004 models had the fewest driver deaths per million vehicles of any passenger vehicle on US roads.
The third-generation Tourneo Connect, released in Europe in October 2021, is a rebadged fourth-generation Volkswagen Caddy, assembled by Volkswagen in Poland.
Ford beat the 25% "chicken tax" by importing the Transit Connect as a passenger van — rear windows and seats included, then stripped out and recycled once it landed in the US.
Ford spent years in federal court over the second-gen Transit Connect: in June 2019 the US won its appeal, and judges ruled the van was cargo-only — ending Ford's workaround for the 'chicken tax.'
GM sold a rebadged Nissan NV200 as the Chevy City Express for four years, then killed it in 2018, citing weak sales and the fact that its parts weren't even compatible with GM's own parts catalog.
Its name is a pun: "S-Cargo" means "Small Cargo" but sounds just like escargot — French for snail, the shape the whole van was built to resemble.
