Maybe I'm just the only one here, but. . .

That new "microbus" design that's been kicking around for 4 years or so SUCKS!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) I would rather get a vasectomy or a root-canal w/o pain killers than drive one of those ugly POS. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Other than the 2 tone paint and similar colors, that abomination has absolutely NO resemblance whatsoever to the classic microbus. At least when the new beetle came out you knew exactly what car it was trying to be a modern version of. The new beetle while not my cup-o-tea, started the trend of updated old models like the Mustang, Challenger, Mini, Camero, etc, etc. It was a well done modern take on a well known icon and in that regard, they did the beetle justice.

I've made a career out of driving and repairing some of the oddest vehicles made. I've owned virtually every type of aircooled VW made, but that would be the Aztec or Juke of the VW world.

But hey, who am I?? Just a consumer. . .
