So what if the the engine is at the wrong end... but I think it's cooler looking than any other minivan on the market today. Road & Track article |

Based on the copyright not being to VW, this is an "artists deception" (artists conception) of what it could look like. The Geneva show next month may have VW's actual design study/mock-up/show car for this, as well as the new Baby Boxter/356 Redux/914 Redux or whatever for a first showing (both are talked about for 2013-15 MYs' timeframe). IMHO - this artist's study missed the boat on what a retro concept VW Mini-Bus Redux should look like, by trying to put retangular wraparound headlights & taillights on something that would look much better with round or oval shaped lights like the original microbus had. After all, that goes better with the roundy shape. Of course, this artist has no corner on screwing up a great retro design in that VW itself has debauched the pooch ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) ) with their redesign of the New Beatle to look like some hot-rodder's chopped-n-channeled Rat-Bug - again, just IMHO from a designer's eye. I think the New Bug had nice lines & to change it for the sake of change - without improving the lines & shape, is just B. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) ! |
