is a van a van in the usa?
 

or do you calls vans somthing else?

Call them Vanny's

Now - were it anyone else posting I'd think they were taking the piss. As it's you Allan then you probably are dumb enough to ask a question like that without clarifying what you mean by a 'van'. How the fuck can anyone answer that in the US if it's called something different?

Seems to me the first guy replying is already confused by your post.

Large enclosed vehchile for transporting goods.

But not as big as a lorry......

that is what a Van is the US and Canada.

in the uk they are often white and men who drive them are refered to as the 'white van man'.

we call sneakers, plymsols.

Have to disagree I think. It has windows on the side so technically a "bus."

At least, that is how I was raised and my dad was a devout VW owner.


. . . . although, I guess if only has windows on one side, might make a difference.

Some call them trucks.
