The Ford is also Turkish, Ford Transit Connect is a model mostly produced by the Turkish Ford, and the cab-Transit was also designed in Turkey alongside with Karsan V1. I think Karsan V1 is more unique, as the Nissan looks awful and the Ford Transit Connect is currently being used in Turkey as taxis.
