Am I the only person that can't stand the look of the new rear lights? I really do not like them at all...It accentuates the squareness of the modern Touring vans - bring back more curves!

And as for mustard yellow...

I quite like them Simon and they are in a far better position higher up on the rear of the van.

All models since 2010 have their lights so low down at the rear that they cannot be seen easily by following vehicles, especially trucks.

Agreed on that - I really like the layout on the 2003-10 Tourings (like our 2005 Triton), with the lights up the rear edges. As a car designer in a previous life I still don't like the new rear lights - and the explosion of chrome is awful... Still, if you've bought a recent BMW X5, or Audi e-Tron, with the biggest, cheesiest chrome grin ever, then you'll be looking for more chrome on your caravan... Those new chrome BMW grilles really remind me of Hannibal Lecter's face guard - perhaps owners should carry tins of Fava beans and a nice Chianti in the door of their new Eriba...

Don't mind the chrome at all. The wheel spats are pretty spiffy, and I'd have a pair on our Troll if I could get some for a reasonable price.

I'm not quite so keen on the shape or the positioning of the rear lights though, and when you chuck in the number plate surround/rear mounted letterbox/mouth I'm left with a Thomas the Tank Engine-type face that I just can't unsee.

There's a time and a place for everything but mustard yellow in a caravan isn't one of them.

Just came across this photo of what I presume to be a new Eriba for sale in a change of colour. A 530 if I'm not mistaken.

Thank you! I didn't notice the face until you mentioned it. Now I see it every time I look!
