(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I didn't see the Headline Date When the Cheeseballs at VW Realize they would sell a Gillizion Micros instead of a few Chrysler T&C/ Routon? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) ...they have had some nice VW vans & Westies in Euro-land/ROW for years, which were better designs than a rebadged Chrysler T&C, or their propsed new SUV from the recent Detroit Show that looks like it may be a rebadged Jeep Grand Cherokee. This was their "California" Westy type camper based on their Euro/ROW Van...  ^ ... a very nice camper-van with a slick interior & hard-high-top versions too...worth googling for a look-see! IMHO they also need to lose the rectangular headlights & use the roundy ovals on the new Bug with more flowing "vee" lines at the color break to make it look good.   A more Retro look aside - it would flow better & look more sleek with arching curves off the front & around rounded/oval headlight/TS units, but the horizontal taillight/brake/back-up sets are good & tend to lower the look of the back-end IMHO.   While I like the retro instrument panel on this concept - what the heck is that torpedo suck into the lower dash!!?? It looks like it rammed an oncoming torpedo!   A nice Westfalia retro redux would be nice too...  . Member Hans L. on here with the orange street & white/black/green racing 914-6s was involved in the original design of this concept, so maybe he knows if & when it may see showroom floors? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Crank up the Beach Boyz & get this sucker built & on sale ..... with a few design tweaks!
