I dunno . . .
The article in TC's link was written in December 2010 according to the by-line. Looks like two year old news that never panned out to me.
Fuch!
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?
...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.

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?
Crank up the Beach Boyz & get this sucker built & on sale ..... with a few design tweaks!
