Just looking at it makes me want to put a subi in it, some bombay shocks, and might as well go ahead and plan on replacing the fridge. Wink

Looks like a VW Tiguan with a trim package. Pretty, but I wouldn't pack the kids, the wife and the dog in there for a trip to Burning Man. Too dainty.

Amazing how "right" Westfalia-Werke had the Vanagon camper interior, way back in 1980.

Sure, it's glitzed and lacquered to the nth degree, but the floor plan and concept are pretty much the same in this fancy land-yacht!
