I remember the previous thread on this. We all had a spirited conversation on the design part as a few of us are / were designers and several of us didn't want to change the old designing (round tailights, round headlights, large VW emblem, etc., etc.) of the "Microbus" if that was what they were going to use as the model name. Changing a well known "iconic" design just for "design sake" is not always a good idea. The concept design has grown on me and in all fairness it is a great design but as Ford, Chevy and Chrysler have seen in the last several years, doing a retro car with the original designs but with a updated tweak here and there can bring in the masses. But there again it is my opinion and the Engineers at VW will do what they will.
