Well, it does a bit... Just look at the front - doesn't it remind you of a very old fridge door? Anyway, it looks really cool (partly thanks to that fridge thing - you know I love all things weird and quirky And something built on a frame formed of thin tubes, with a front-mounted VW boxer engine driving the front wheels is weird and quirky enough for me). Wasn't it a direct competitor to the DKW Schnellaster? And did it have a successor?
I don't know, I'm not familiar with fridges. In the beginning the Matador had no direct competitor, but later came the DKW Schnellaster, VW Transporter, Ford Taunus Transit, Borgward B611, etc. There was another version of the Matardor in the 60's [link] , but it shared only few similarities with the older models. Tempo were taken over by Hanomag Henschel in 1969 and there were rebadged Matadors for a short time [link] . The closes successor would be the Hanomag F35 [link] .
So actually both ended up as Mercedes vans (Schnellaster -> N1000 -> MB90, Matador -> Hanomag F35 -> Mercedes L 206 D/L 306 D) and could be perceived as very distant predecessors of the Vito...
