nice its electric but looks too much like a honda element/scion mix

i would get one if it were diesel or electric would be cool till you have to replace batterys

i'd like to see the V shape front hood and a rounder body.

right now it does look like a bigger scion.

i agree...but it does "fit" into their current product line. i would soooo drive that with the diesel.

i would want to pillars white also

I am thoroughly unimpressed with the design of this bus. VW engineers need to focus on making the bus more aesthetically similar to the original concept if they expect another breakthrough like the new beetle. Just my two cents, but I wouldn't trade my 74 for that POS. FAIL!

The wheels are pretty cool. The rest is an utter failure.

CNN has a neat little history posted.

I agree. I like the wheels. Other than that...Turrible.

I understand that Volkswagen had to update the design, but this looks more like a Scion XB/ Nissan Cube/ Kia Soul to me
