| Well, I for one am glad that VW is making an electric fake bus these days, at least because it looks a little more unique than some of the other offerings out presently. Maybe other companies will follow suit and make more retro-inspired EV's, and before you know it, we'll have a proper electric mustang/beetle/what have you? |

I've seen one locally. It's pretty bland.
I'd rather have an xBus. Hopefully it makes it in to full production... https://www.topgear.com/car-news/electric/electric-xbus-cutest-thing-youll-see-today

| Dang, I've never seen the xbus before. Kinda looks familiar... I hope it makes it to the states. I'm really loving seeing all the new companies like Rivian come up outta nowhere. Speaks to me to know smaller companies can still come up and do something in that sector. |

I hate the Buzz at a molecular level. It has about as much personality as an air fryer with wheels.

I would go back a lot further than that!

For the most part, yeah. There are 2 or 3 cars I like from the past 13 years.

Porsche cars still had style into the 90s. I like the looks of the 944/968.
