When sold, does he put his Xbox box in a box for shipping?

Interesting calendar product:
https://www.amazon.com/RISA-Collection-Volkswagen-...6&th=1
However...
Despite being a VW-licensed product, it is either airbrushed, or more likely, an AI creation.
- The sign is WAY out of proportion to the Bus.
- The front clip has obviously phony headlight and turn signal bezels, and "V" trim.
- Squared corners of skylights.
- Wrong hubcaps for a Split.
- Metal window trim.
It actually makes me nauseous the more I look at it.

I agree that must be AI, it looks more like a shitty plastic model than an actual Bus and massive weird errors in how a real Bus looks
In the Amazon listing they have some nice photos of actual Buses down below - Why not use those?
