The Bulli is old news. I've said it a bunch, but I'll say it again: Forget the Bulli, forget the Routan... give me the California.

The fellow doing the presentation this morning on Live With Kelly appears several times a year introducing many new automobile models for the next year or two. Before he exposed it (slid the sheet off) he said it was related to the former "Microbus from the 60's. I jumped out of my chair ran into the living room and that's what I saw (the first pic in this thread). Such disappointment. I suppose I'll always be stuck in the past Laughing

I've always liked my vehicle with hard lines, squared off sorta, always.

Do you think that if they really do incorporate an old concept in a modern version which will undoubtedly be expensive, that it will increase the value of well cared for "vintage" vehicles? I'm not sure it is the same as the modern Bug vs the original Beetles, or is it?

I thought "Bulli" was a real name while "microbus" is american slang. Confused

Either way I have owned many "new" VW's. I have been very disappointed and will prolly never own anything newer than MKII again. Everything introduced to the American market is watered down and has proved expensive (for me) to keep on the road.

Still waiting for real Syncro "bus" to come stateside. Crying or Very sad

Here are a few more photos of the previous Microbus concept.

Different color scheme:

The camper version:

I think there may be some hope of seeing something like these, but updated to fit the current styling shown by the Bulli concept. The fact that VW called the new one shown last year "The Bulli" suggests they are saving the Microbus name for a bigger version intended for this market. The small Bulli is really intended more for the european market.

Or I may be wrong, and they just didn't use the Microbus name again since it was already used in the 2001 concept.

The 4motion 2012 Crafter is more butch, in fact it has a bit of the cab over engine feel to it.

Has the buttons that syncro nerds like:
