New VW Microbus? not me.

Volkswagen's Bulli concept car is presented during ...
I don't know. It looks like a Scion. That's not a bad thing, but come on. If you're going to do it, then do it right... The bus here and from the other concept pictures just looks way too small. You can see that the back of it barely goes beyond the second door. This screems Scion or Mini Clubman. If I'm buying a retro car, make it match... don't just take a Toyota and paint it like a bus. I'm always reminded of Judge Judy in these times where she says, don't piss on my shoes and tell me it's rain.

The other retro cars that are out there are successful and directionally are the size and shape of their predecessor. The Mustang, Camaro, VW Bug... all are relatively the same mass as their baby boomer parents. Why cheap out here?

I'm citing Yahoo as the source of the picture above as well as more information. Obviously make your own decision but at this point, I'm choosing to take a pass.

Sure looks different than my 1967 vw bus, but I'll bet it's a nice smooth ride with air conditioning and goes faster than 55!
