What do you guys think? I personally like it but would love to see what the camper conversion could be. I am curious to hear your responses.

Nope. Just a rumor that pops up every year.

Let's see, article almost 1 yr old, model not on VW's corporate sales site, design been kicking around for some time and discussed on this site from time to time - front looks inspired by the movie Cars - looks cartoonish. Back looks modern. Looks rather small. Doesn't really stand out from anything else on the market in any way. To me, just another overpriced modern vehicle with little connection to a classic VW other than the name. I'm sure this will be soon locked.

Oh...I guess I was duped. I thought it was real.... I don't think it looks like other vehicles...but I do agree it is overpriced...Glad I have my 1970 baywindow bus.
